Hurricanes Mapped: A Replayable Archive of Global Storms

Field notes

The project organizes NOAA’s IBTrACS records into a date-oriented map: visitors can select a storm, inspect its recorded path and measurements, and replay the sequence through time. Its archive reports 8,307 unique systems and 486,646 storm-time points, while downloadable yearly records provide an exit from the map interface. The page also documents important limits, including changing tracking methods, revised recent records, missing measurements, and wind-radius data available only for some observations.
