This was achieved by working directly with all the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers and other international centers and individuals to create a global best track dataset, merging storm information from multiple agencies into one product and archiving the data for public use. source : The original data are tropical cyclone position, intensity and otherinformation provided by various agencies and people. This is a collection of all data on each tropical cyclone recorded. Conventions : ACDD-1.3 Conventions_note : Data are nearly CF-1.7 compliant. The sole issue is the storage of missing data in the latitude/longitude/time variables. Otherwise, data are CF compliant. product_version : v04r00 project : International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) processing_level : NOAA Processing Level 2, Data products are derived geophysical variables at the same resolution and locations as the level 1 source data acknowledgement : IBTrACS was produced by a team of scientists from NOAA in collaboration with scientists worldwide. references : https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/, doi:10.1175/2009BAMS2755.1 institution : National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce publisher_type : institution publisher_name : National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce publisher_email : ncei.sat.info@noaa.gov publisher_institution : National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce publisher_url : https://ncei.noaa.gov/ creator_type : group creator_name : IBTrACS Science Team (Ken Knapp, Howard Diamond, Jim Kossin, Mike Kruk, Carl Schreck) creator_institution : National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce creator_email : ibtracs.team@noaa.gov, ken.knapp@noaa.gov creator_url : https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/ contributor_name : "National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce","Central Pacific Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce","Japan Meteorological Agency, RSMC Tokyo, Japan","India Meteorological Department, RSMC New Delhi, India","Bureau of Meteorology, Australia","MetService, TCWC Wellington, New Zealand","Fiji Meteorological Service, RSMC Fiji, Fiji","MeteoFrance, La Reunion, RSMC La Reunion","Shanghai Typhoon Institute, Chinese Meteorological Administration, China","Hong Kong Observatory, Hong Kong""Joint Typhoon Warning Center, U.S. Department of Defense","National Center for Atmospheric Research, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research","Charlie Neumann Southern Hemisphere Dataset","Mike Chenoweth North Atlantic Dataset" contributor_role : These agencies and people provide track data and best track data used to produce IBTrACS. date_created : 2022-11-01 17:02:03 date_issued : 2022-11-01 17:02:03 time_coverage_start : 1842-10-25T03:00:00 time_coverage_end : 2022-11-01 17:02:03 geospatial_lat_min : 80.0 geospatial_lat_max : -80.0 geospatial_lat_units : degrees_north geospatial_lat_resolution : 0.10 geospatial_lon_min : -180.0 geospatial_lon_max : 180.0 geospatial_lon_units : degrees_east geospatial_lon_resolution : 0.10 geospatial_vertical_min : not applicable geospatial_vertical_max : not applicable naming_authority : gov.noaa.ncei id : 1842298N11080.ibtracs_int.v04r00.nc metadata_link : doi:10.25921/82ty-9e16 keywords : EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> MAXIMUM SURFACE WIND, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACK, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> TROPICAL CYCLONE FORCE WIND EXTENT, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> TROPICAL CYCLONE RADIUS, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> TROPICAL CYCLONES> MAXIMUM 1-MINUTE SUSTAINED WIND, EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE> WEATHER EVENTS> SUBTROPICAL CYCLONES > SUBTROPICAL STORM keywords_vocabulary : GCMD Science Keywords Version 8.6 standard_name_vocabulary : CF Standard Name Table v52 history : Thu Feb 2 04:02:08 2023: ncks -a -4 -L 5 temp.nc -O netcdf/IBTrACS.ALL.v04r00.nc Thu Feb 2 03:50:35 2023: ncrcat -6 -H -O netcdf/ibtracs.ALL.v04r00.nc Produced by IBTrACS for individual tracks and merged into basin and temporal collections using netCDF operators (ncrcat) license : These data may be redistributed and used without restriction. featureType : trajectory cdm_data_type : Trajectory comment : The tracks of TCs generally look like a trajectory except that it wasn't expedient to use the CF trajectory type.
