Atlantic Hurricane Database

The Atlantic Hurricane Database, maintained by NOAA, is a comprehensive record of all tropical storms and hurricanes that have occurred in the Atlantic Ocean and nearby regions. It includes detailed information such as storm paths, wind speeds, durations, and the damages caused, dating back to the 19th century. This database helps scientists analyze patterns, track historical trends, and improve forecasting. It is a crucial resource for understanding hurricane behavior, planning emergency responses, and studying climate change impacts on storm activity.
