As the map animation plays out typhoon tracks are added to the map past times year. The xanthous typhoon tracks exhibit the typhoons that made landfall inwards mainland China. As the animation plays the bar graph below the map also updates to exhibit the frequency of typhoons past times year.

Below the principal map are a give away of minor multiple maps showing the tracks of some of the most destructive tropical storms to bring striking China. These minor maps exhibit the trace of each typhoon in addition to where each made landfall. Towards the bottom of the page are graphs showing which Chinese provinces bring suffered the most from tropical storms.


NOAA's Historical Hurricane Tracks map allows y'all to persuasion global hurricane information dating dorsum equally far equally 1842. Using the map y'all tin search in addition to visualize hurricane information past times tempest name, place in addition to past times date. If y'all piece of job inwards the cite of a hurricane (for illustration 2012's Hurricane Sandy) y'all tin persuasion the hurricane's rail on the map. Points along each hurricane's rail allow y'all to persuasion details well-nigh the air current speed in addition to pressure level for each day. H5N1 link is also provided to read a PDF of NOAA's tempest study for each hurricane.

If y'all choose the 'Hurricanes' selection from the map bill of fare thence y'all tin persuasion all the historical hurricane tracks on 1 map.

This map of historical Hurricane in addition to Tropical Cyclone Track Density uses Carto's Torque library to animate the rail density of hurricanes in addition to tropical cyclones from 2000-2013. The map uses information from the National Climatic Data Center - NOAA.

The Hurricane in addition to Tropical Cyclone Track Density map doesn't allow y'all to explore private hurricane tracks exactly the heatmap does reveal the areas of the basis which are most prone to hurricanes in addition to tropical cyclones. As the animation plays the seasonal nature of hurricanes in addition to tropical cyclones around the basis is also revealed past times the rising in addition to autumn of tempest activeness on the map.
