A portfolio of weather risk transfer contracts efficiently reduces risk
Climate Risk Management, 2021 We quantify the potential reduction of risk in practice that is possible by constructing a portfolio of contracts covering weather risks, relative to a portfolio of lower-frequency natural catastrophe risks.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Mitigating hail overforecasting in the two-moment Milbrandt–Yau microphysics scheme (v2.25.2_beta_04) in WRF (v4.5.1) by incorporating the graupel spongy wet growth process (MY2_GSWG v1.0) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentHail forecasting using numerical models remains a challenge due to the uncertainties and deficiencies in microphysics schemes. In this study, we assessed the hail simulation performance of the two-moment Milbrandt–Yau (MY2) microphysics scheme within the

Historical weather data for climate risk assessment [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2018 AbstractWeather‐ and climate‐related hazards are responsible for monetary losses, material damages, and societal consequences. Quantifying related risks is, therefore, an important societal task, particularly in view of future climate change. For this task, climate risk assessment increasingly uses model chains, which mainly build on data from the last

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Theories on the impact of weather on consumer spending and retail sales
Tržište, 2013 Weather affects four basic purchasing decisions: what, when, where and in what quantity to buy. Even though retail is not traditionally perceived to be a weather sensitive sector, results of studies show that weather has a significant impact on store ...

Weather swap as an instrument for weather risk management in wheat production [PDF]
Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2012 A special type of weather derivatives are weather forwards and they exists mostly in the form of weather swaps. Hedging effectiveness in wheat production with and without weather swap was analyzed in this paper using stochastic dominance.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A polyelectrolyte complex‐based sorbent is produced by scalable, environmentally benign aqueous phase inversion. Its porous, LiCl‐ and GO‐integrated architecture enables hourly adsorption−desorption cycles at low relative humidity (RH < 30%). A large‐scale prototype achieves multicyclic, solar‐driven atmospheric water harvesting of 1.37 L kg−1 day−1 ...
