gov.noaa.ncdc:C00292 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Unknown tabular digital data Asheville, NC NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC > National Climatic Data Center http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov Tropical Cyclone Data-North Atlantic is a historical digital data set archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The major parameters that make up this file are; sequential numbers of each storm, time, location, stage of storm, direction, speed of movement, type of movement and maximum wind speed. A number is assigned to each tropical storm day. These numbers are assigned in sequential order, beginning with the first tropical storm day in 1886. There are two cards for each assigned storm day number. Card no. 1 contains the 7am data. Card no. 2 contains the 7pm data. The 24-hour displacement of the center of tropical cyclones are computed using the 7am position or 7pm position, respectively. The 24-hour displacement is given for each card , when available. 12-hour movements are also given. The 12-hour displacements of the center of tropical cyclones are computed using the 7am position or 7pm position, respectively. Three 12-hour displacements are given on each card for each day listed, when available. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00292 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 18860101 19661231 Ground Condition Complete As Needed -100.0 -10.0 65.0 10.0 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 oceans 014 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather Earth Sciences > Ocean > Oceanography GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA > CYCLONES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA > HURRICANES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA > STORMS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA > TYPHOONS GCMD Location Valids NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN GULF OF MEXICO CARIBBEAN SEA CENTRAL AMERICA NORTH AMERICA GCMD Location Valids LAND SURFACE SEA SURFACE 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
