50 Years Of Typhoons

68 Years of Wind too Rain is an animated map showing historical typhoon tracks inwards too to a greater extent than or less the southeast coast of China. The map visualizes 1,832 typhoons inwards the share since 1949.

As the map animation plays out typhoon tracks are added to the map yesteryear year. The yellowish typhoon tracks present the typhoons that made landfall inwards mainland China. As the animation plays the bar graph below the map also updates to present the frequency of typhoons yesteryear year.

Below the primary map are a release of modest multiple maps showing the tracks of some of the most destructive tropical storms to accept hitting China. These modest maps present the pull of each typhoon too where each made landfall. Towards the bottom of the page are graphs showing which Chinese provinces accept suffered the most from tropical storms.


NOAA's Historical Hurricane Tracks map allows you lot to thought global hurricane information dating dorsum every bit far every bit 1842. Using the map you lot tin search too visualize hurricane information yesteryear tempest name, place too yesteryear date. If you lot function into the get upward of a hurricane (for event 2012's Hurricane Sandy) you lot tin thought the hurricane's rails on the map. Points along each hurricane's rails allow you lot to thought details well-nigh the air current speed too pressure level for each day. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 link is also provided to read a PDF of NOAA's tempest study for each hurricane.

If you lot pick out the 'Hurricanes' selection from the map carte du jour too then you lot tin thought all the historical hurricane tracks on i map. If you lot pick out the 'County Strikes' selection you lot tin thought a choropleth map of U.S. of A. coastal counties. The counties colored nighttime ruby-red accept historically had to a greater extent than hurricane strikes than the counties colored alongside a lighter red.


This map of historical Hurricane too Tropical Cyclone Track Density uses Carto's Torque library to animate the rails density of hurricanes too tropical cyclones from 2000-2013. The map uses information from the National Climatic Data Center - NOAA.

The Hurricane too Tropical Cyclone Track Density map doesn't allow you lot to explore private hurricane tracks only the heatmap does bring out the areas of the footing which are most prone to hurricanes too tropical cyclones. As the animation plays the seasonal nature of hurricanes too tropical cyclones to a greater extent than or less the footing is also revealed yesteryear the ascension too autumn of tempest activeness on the map.
