Lives, property, and profits have long been at risk from the effects of natural and man-made catastrophes, weather and climate. Today there are sophisticated and effective tools to model these complex phenomena so that companies can make informed decisions about protective strategies.

As the world's premier catastrophe and climate risk modeling firm, AIR is synonymous with technological leadership. AIR scientists and engineers identify the variables and equations that define these extraordinarily complex phenomena and create computer programs that can realistically simulate them, producing a range of potential future outcomes.

AIR pioneered the probabilistic catastrophe modeling technology that revolutionized the way insurance and reinsurance companies and, increasingly, corporate risk managers assess and manage catastrophe risk. AIR models and software tools set the standard for the analysis of loss potential and effective risk management strategies. But AIR's proven expertise with catastrophe risk analysis is only the beginning.

Using advanced Numerical Weather Prediction techniques, AIR has implemented the first commercial applications of global climate modeling for weather risk management in the insurance, financial, and energy industries, to name a few. These new AIR applications offer expanded capabilities for assessing the probabilities of expected weather regimes.

AIR modeling technologies continue to evolve to meet the expanding  risk management needs of companies around the world.
