Historical Hurricane Tracks Tool

This interactive mapping application easily searches and displays global tropical cyclone data. Users are able to query storms by the storm name, geographic region, or latitude/longitude coordinates. Custom queries can track storms of interest and allow for data extraction and download.

  • Searches and displays tropical cyclone track data by ZIP Code, latitude and longitude coordinates, city, state, or geographic region and then displays the selected tracks on a map
  • Displays coastal population data and hurricane strike data for coastal counties from Maine to Texas
  • Provides access to storm reports written by hurricane specialists at the National Hurricane Center. Reports are available for the Atlantic and East-Central Pacific Basins
  • Builds custom Uniform Resource Locator (URL) strings that users can follow from personal websites to the on-line mapping application with specific storm tracks
These data were derived from National Hurricane Center HURDAT data (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.shtml) and International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) data (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ibtracs/). Metadata for each dataset can be found on their respective websites.
