Abstract

This feature layer, utilizing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays global hurricane tracks from 1842-2024. According to NOAA, "a tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms but no fronts (a boundary separating two air masses of different densities). Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour (mph) are called tropical depressions. Those with maximum susta...

Data Quality
The "Historical Hurricane Tracks" dataset, sourced from NOAA's National Hurricane Center, provides comprehensive information on tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans. The data is derived from the HURDAT archives, which have been meticulously maintained and periodically reanalyzed to correct inaccuracies and incorporate advancements in meteorological science. While the dataset is a valuable resource for understanding historical hurricane activity, users should be aware of potential limitations inherent in historical data collection methods. It is recommended to consult NOAA's official documentation for detailed information on data accuracy and methodology.
