Hurricane and Storm Tracking
"The StormTrack system receives weather data from the US National Weather
Service via satellite. The system creates an entry for each tropical
depression, storm, or hurricane when the National Weather Service begins
issuing advisories." - from the website
The site includes a scholarly article from the University of Colorado which
concludes that "conditions affecting hurricane activity now indicate above
average activity during 2001". Of additional interest is the historical
storm information in the 'Atlantic Hurricane Archive' including position,
wind speed and pressure data of hurricanes from the early twentieth
century, as well as the graphic models of these storms.
This is a serious site devoted to the publication of data - straight from
the horse's mouth, or in this case from the US National Weather Service.
When you need plain, unembellished information about a developing weather
incident likely to reach the U.S. coast, this site will provide the data
you need.
