Seychelles IBTrACS Tropical Cyclone Tracks with WMO Wind and Pressure

Aggregated tropical cyclone track data for the Seychelles region sourced from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS). It merges historical storm observations from multiple global agencies into a unified format, covering parameters like wind speed and central pressure.

Use Cases

• Visualizing historical cyclone trajectories using LAT and LON coordinates
• Analyzing storm intensity trends using WMO_WIND and WMO_PRES metrics
• Classifying storm types based on the NATURE field

Strengths

• Aggregates data from multiple meteorological agencies to improve inter-agency comparison
• Uses standardized ISO_TIME formats for temporal consistency
• Includes WMO-validated wind and pressure fields

Limitations

• Geographic scope is restricted to the Seychelles area
• Potential for data gaps in WMO_WIND or WMO_PRES depending on source agency reporting
