STORM Data Catalog

These maps display the first five simulated tropical cyclone seasons of STORM data. Each track begins at an open circle (genesis point) and is represented by a line colored according to wind speed.

Observed track density (left) and simulated STORM track density (right). Simulated is the 50th percentile (median) of 100 random draws of the same number of seasons as the observed. The sample median is a strong choice because it is not affected by extreme values or outliers, making it a robust measure of central tendency even when the underlying distribution is skewed or has extreme values.
