Iceland IBTrACS Storm Tracks with WMO Wind and Pressure Data

Offering historical tropical cyclone track data for the Iceland region, sourced from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS). It aggregates multi-agency observations into an unified format featuring wind speed, central pressure, and geographic coordinates. The records are maintained by HDX and were last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping storm trajectories using LAT and LON coordinates over ISO_TIME
• Analyzing storm intensity variations using WMO_WIND and WMO_PRES values
• Filtering storm events by meteorological type using the NATURE field

Strengths

• Standardized WMO_WIND and WMO_PRES fields for inter-agency comparison
• Multi-format availability in GEOJSON and CSV for GIS and tabular analysis
• Unique SID identifiers for tracking individual storm lifecycles across agencies

Limitations

• Geographic focus is restricted to the Iceland region
• Specific historical start and end years are not provided in the metadata
