Hurricane Reanalysis Project

The Hurricane Reanalyses Project is a scientific effort to improve our understanding of past hurricanes by carefully reviewing and updating historical weather data. Meteorologists examine old records, satellite images, and other sources to create more accurate accounts of each storm's strength, path, and duration. This process helps correct inaccuracies and fill in gaps in previous records, providing a clearer and more consistent long-term picture of hurricane activity. The improved data aids climate scientists, researchers, and policymakers in studying trends and making informed decisions related to hurricanes and climate change.
