"The availability of previously inconceivable amounts of computing horsepower is enabling insurers to develop catastrophe models that can narrow the divide between what humans can imagine and what nature can do.
...AR Worldwide, a big-three catastrophe modeler, is modeling 10,000 years of weather to build a probabilistic model for flooding in Germany.

So instead of simply using the data from those 100 years to make a model, AIR ran 10,000 possible permutations of that historical data to provide what Guin calls 'the full universe of possible outcomes.'
