A combined statistical-deterministic approach to methods and systems for assessing risk associated with natural disasters, in particular, hurricane wind risk. One example of a method of predicting wind speed distribution within a predetermined distance from a point of interest includes steps of statistically synthesizing a large plurality of wind storm tracks that pass within a predetermined radius of the point of interest, running a deterministic simulation of wind intensity along each one of the large plurality of wind storm tracks to produce an output representative of wind speed distribution along each track, and using the output to estimate an overall wind speed probability distribution from a combination of the wind speed distributions along each track within the predetermined distance from the point of interest.

An apparatus is presented for providing a short time range forecast with relative high accuracy from weather radar images of cloud reflection data by incorporating physical properties of cloud in the forecasting method. The method consists of defining a plurality of lattice points on a radar image, and multiplying the reflection data from a group of neighboring lattice points obtained at a specific past point in time with selected coefficients. The products of multiplication are summed, and transformed into image data by specific function based on the properties relating to cloud. Squared errors of the difference between the computational reflection data and the observed reflection data are iterated to a value below a predetermined threshold value to select the coefficients, and these coefficients are used to provide forecasting of reflection data at a specific future point in time.

A system and method are provided for the automated prediction of lightning strikes in a set of different spatial regions for different times in the future. In a preferred embodiment, the system utilizes measurements of many weather phenomena. The types of measurements that can be utilized in approximately the same geographical region as that for which the strike predictions are made. This embodiment utilizes a correlation network to relate these weather measurements to future lightning strikes.

The present invention provides a weather forecast apparatus and a method for the same, to systematically classify a measured radar image based on results of pattern classification of past radar images so as to use the classified radar image. In the present invention, rapid forecasting is possible by making the FNN model previously learn based on data of each class (and indexes for forecast times) obtained by classification of past weather data for every resembling pattern. In addition, a calculation procedure for improving the classifying ability of patterns can be established by varying the procedure for calculating feature quantities with regard to the radar image by using the learning of the TNN model. Furthermore, systematic classification of a pre-learned image can be realized by performing self organization with regard to compound feature quantities extracted from a radar image in the PNN model, a typical example of which is a competitive learning model.
