Over-water portions of storm tracks before 1944 are subject to considerable uncertainties. Aircraft reconnaissance of storms near critical areas was introduced in 1944, and continuous weather satellite surveillance was introduced in the mid-1960s. These two developments mean that more recent storm records have a higher degree of accuracy than those prior to 1944. No tests for logical consistency have been performed on this data set. This data set includes all known Atlantic Basin (Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean) tropical cyclones between 1851 and 2008. The term tropical cyclone as used here refers to subtropical depressions and storms, tropical depressions and storms, and all categories of hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 5. This dataset also includes hybrid systems such as tropical lows, waves, subtropical depressions and storms, as well as extratropical storms. Over-water portions of storm tracks before 1944 are subject to considerable uncertainties. Aircraft reconnaissance of storms near critical areas was introduced in 1944, and continuous weather satellite surveillance was introduced in the mid-1960s. These two developments allow a high degree of probability that more recent storm center locations were determined with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center Unnamed Storms from 1950 or later may be unnamed if they were not recognized as tropical storms or hurricanes at the time of their occurrence. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center NAMEString1200 LONG_LONG_Double8193 Lat The latitude measurement of the storm's center, in tenths of decimal degrees. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center 7.2 69.0 LATDouble8193 Wind_kts The measured or estimated windspeed at the time of the advisory, in whole knots. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center 10 165 WIND_KTSDouble8100 Pressure The measured or estimated barometric pressure at the time of the advisory, in millibars. A value of 0 indicates the barometric pressure is unknown. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center 0 1024 PRESSUREInteger450 Cat The intensity classification of the storm. Hurricanes are classified according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center D The storm was classified as a tropical disturbance at the time of the advisory. A tropical disturbance is a discrete tropical weather system of apparently organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity), which is generally 100 to 300 nautical miles in diameter. It originates in the tropics or subtropics, has a nonfrontal migratory character, and maintains its identity for 24 hours or more. It does not necessarily exhibit circulation, but may develop into a tropical cyclone. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center E The storm was classified as Extratropical at the time of the advisory. Extratropical is a term used in advisories and tropical summaries to indicate that a cyclone has lost its tropical characteristics. The term implies both that the cyclone has moved out of the tropics and that the energy source driving the storm has changed. While tropical cyclones derive their energy from the convection of warm, moist air, extratropical storms derive their energy from the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses. It is important to note that cyclones can become extratropical and still retain winds of hurricane or tropical storm force. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center H1 The storm was classified as a Category 1 hurricane at the time of the advisory.

A Category 2 hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of 83 knots/96 mph to 95 knots/110 mph, inclusive. H3 The storm was classified as a Category 3 hurricane at the time of the advisory. A Category 3 hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained surface (10 meter) winds of 96 knots/111 mph to 113 knots/130 mph, inclusive. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center H4 The storm was classified as a Category 4 hurricane at the time of the advisory. A Category 4 hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of 114 knots/131 mph to 135 knots/155 mph, inclusive. H5 The storm was classified as a Category 5 hurricane at the time of the advisory. A Category 5 hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds greater than 135 knots/ 155 mph. L The storm was classified as a tropical low at the time of the advisory. A tropical low indicates low pressure at the surface, but no other characteristics of a tropical cyclone are present. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center SD The storm was classified as a subtropical depression at the time of the advisory. A subtropical depression is a subtropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of less than 34 knots/39 mph. SS The storm was classified as a subtropical storm at the time of the advisory. A subtropical storm is a subtropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of 34 knots/39 mph or greater. TD The storm was classified as a tropical depression at the time of the advisory. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of less than 34 knots/ 39 mph. TS The storm was classified as a tropical storm at the time of the advisory. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with maximum one-minute average sustained surface (10 meter) winds of 34 knots/39 mph to 64 knots/ 73 mph, inclusive. W The storm was classified as a tropical wave at the time of the advisory. Tropical waves occur in the trade-wind easterlies, moving to the west with a wave-like motion. They show a detectable shift in wind direction, which may not be detectable at the surface but may be seen in the middle atmosphere. A tropical wave may develop into a tropical cyclone. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Hurricane Center Basin The oceanic basin where the storm occurred. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA Coastal Services Center The path followed by the center of a subtropical or tropical cyclone or related storm. A subtropical cyclone is a low pressure system that develops over subtropical waters and that initially has a non-tropical circulation but in which some elements of tropical cyclone cloud structure are present. Subtropical cyclones can evolve into tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, non-frontal low-pressure system that develops over tropical or subtropical waters, covering a large region and with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic (counter-clockwise circular) surface wind circulation. Related storms are those that develop into subtropical or tropical cyclones or develop from them, such as tropical disturbances, lows, waves, and extratropical storms.
