Introduction
European winter wind storms are a major cause of losses to the insurance sector. To help the sector better understand this risk the Operational Wind Storm Service for the Insurance Sector has been developed. The development of the service follows from a Proof of Concept for a Sectorial Information Service to provide information about European wind storms, which is the Windstorm Information Service (WISC), part of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). This document describes the storm tracking part of the development performed by the University of Reading.
