The Global Tropical and Extratropical Cyclone Climatic Atlas (GTECCA) Version

1.0 on CD-ROM

BRIEF

The Global Tropical and Extratropical Cyclone Climatic Atlas (GTECCA) Version 1.0 CD-ROM contains all global historic tropical storm track data available for 5 tropical storm basins. Periods of record varies for each basin, with the beginning as early as the 1870's and with 1992 as the latest year. Northern Hemispheric extratropical storm track data will be included for 1965-1992. Tropical track data includes time, position, and storm stage, with maximum wind and central pressure when available. The user will have the capability to display tracks, and track data for any basin or user-selected geographic area. The user will also be able to select storm tracks passing within a user-defined radius of any point. Narratives for all tropical storms for the 1980-1992 period will be included as well as basin-wide tropical storm climatological statistics. The cost is $100.
