Madagascar IBTrACS Tropical Cyclone Tracks with Wind and Pressure Data

Delivering tropical cyclone track data for the Madagascar region, sourced from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) project. It aggregates historical and recent storm observations from multiple meteorological agencies into an unified format, including storm identifiers, temporal markers, and physical measurements. The data is available in CSV and GEOJSON formats and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping storm trajectories using LAT and LON coordinates
• Analyzing historical trends in storm intensity using WMO_WIND and WMO_PRES values
• Categorizing storm types over time using the NATURE and ISO_TIME fields

Strengths

• Aggregates data from multiple global agencies to improve inter-agency comparisons
• Includes both GEOJSON and CSV formats for geospatial and tabular analysis
• Standardized fields for wind speed (WMO_WIND) and pressure (WMO_PRES)

Limitations

• Geographic scope is limited to the Madagascar region
• Data quality depends on the reporting consistency of the contributing meteorological agencies
