Hurricane Satellite (HURSAT) from International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1, Version 6
The Hurricane Satellite (HURSAT) from derived International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1 observations of tropical cyclones worldwide. The B1 data are subsampled observations from the global constellation of geostationary satellites (GOES, Meteosat, GMS, and FY2 series) spanning 1978 through to present year. The data include infrared window, visible and other channels available from the satellite instruments. IBTrACS (International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship) best track locations of all global tropical cyclones were temporally interpolated to match the satellite data resolution. The satellite data were then gridded to 8km, with grid centers fixed on the tropical cyclone center of circulation at 3-hour intervals. Data are provided in a convenient NetCDF format which is self-documenting and follows standard storage and metadata conventions. HURSAT version 6 also contains information about the image derived from storm centering algorithms including ARCHER [Wimmer's SSEC algorithm] and the axisymmetric technique. Azimuthal statistics derived from these positions are also provided. Version 6 supersedes all other HURSAT B1 versions.
