Florida commission on hurricane loss projection methodology

The first worksheet (“Sen Anal all Variables”) contains three sets of 100 random combinations of the following seven model input variables for each of three categories of hurricanes (1, 3, and 5):

• 
  CP = central pressure (in millibars)
  
• 
  Rmax = radius of maximum winds (in statute miles)
  
• 
  VT = translational velocity (forward speed in miles per hour)
  
• 
  Model shape parameter such as the Holland B parameter
  
• 
  CF = conversion factor for converting the modeled gradient winds to surface winds
  
• 
  FFP = far field pressure (in millibars)
  
• 
  Quantiles for possible additional input variable (use is optional)
  

These model input variables are based on the probability distributions given in Figure 4.

The values of CP and FFP in the Excel file can either be used as the basis for calculating pressure difference, which would then be used as a single model input, or both CP and FFP can be used as model inputs. Disclose whether CP and FFP were used as the basis for calculating pressure difference or as direct model inputs.
