  • a) inputting data representative of an historical track of a weather event, said data including an historical starting point and a plurality of points representative of actual geographical positions along the historical track; and

    b) generating data representative of a plurality of alternative tracks based on said historical track, said data including a starting point and a plurality of alternative points, corresponding to said points representative of said starting point and actual geographical positions along the historical track, representative of geographical positions along said alternative tracks;

    c) wherein said alternative points are generated from said points along the historical track by a dependent sampling process; and

    d) wherein the step of generating data representative of alternative tracks includes the step of limiting a variance of said alternative points from a respective historical point in accordance with one or more physical laws.
