How this figure is calculated
Climate related disasters frequency, Number of Disasters: TOTAL, Number (Not Applicable) with 1,354 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- Climate related disasters frequency, Number of Disasters: TOTAL International Monetary Fund
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
