Centrus Hurricane Tracks data is based on data from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center.
This Historical North Atlantic Hurricane Tracks file of Major Storms with
Landfall in the United States contains the 6-hourly (0000, 0600, 1200, 1800
UTC) center locations and intensities for all major storms from 1851 through
2005. Major storms are those that made landfall in the United States and that
were classified on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale as category 3, 4, or 5 at
the time of landfall. Land falling storms are defined as those storms whose
center is reported to have either crossed or passed directly adjacent to the
U.S. coastline, and which came ashore with tropical storm intensity or greater
(sustained surface winds of 34 knots or 39 miles per hour or greater).
The Centrus Hurricane Tracks include Name, Date, Category, Wind speed, Winds in
MPH, Pressure, location and BTID. Coverage includes the United States (eastern
seaboard, Florida, Gulf States, Gulf of Mexico, Northern Mexico, Caribbean, and
the Atlantic Ocean. Centrus Hurricanes data enables determination of the
distance to line using Centrus Spatial+ GDL option technology.
Centrus
Hurricanes Tracks data is intended for geographic
display and analysis
at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data
should be used only at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Geological
Survey, or Group 1 Software in the use of these
data. Centus Hurricane Tracks data is for use with Centrus Spatial+ solutions.
