      <abstract>This Historical North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Tracks file contains the 6-hourly (0000, 0600, 1200, 1800 UTC) center locations and intensities for all subtropical depressions and storms, extratropical storms, tropical lows, waves, disturbances, depressions and storms, and all hurricanes, from 1851 through 2008.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the use of these data.</purpose>
      <supplinf>An ASCII format version of the Historical Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Tracks file is available at &lt;http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.shtml&gt;. For more information on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, please see &lt;http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshs.shtml&gt;. For more information on tropical cyclone advisories, please see &lt;http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/forecast/forecast_products.shtml&gt;.

    <logic>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.</logic>
    <complete>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.</complete>

The layer was projected from GCS Nad83 to Albers HPGN. -All fields upcased -Filename changed from atl_hurtrack.shp to tropc_nov08.shp -Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME -Added FGDLAQDATE based on date data was acquired from source.</procdesc>

            <edomvd>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.</edomvd>

            <edomvd>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.</edomvd>

    <resdesc>DOWNLOADABLE DATA</resdesc>
    <distliab>The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html</distliab>
