Tropical Cyclone Wind Exposure
Hurricanes and other tropical cyclones pose a high risk to people, property, and ecosystems along the coastline of the United States. The impact of these storms can cascade through the nation's economy and affect communities far from the coast. Understanding the geographic limit of and exposure to winds from tropical cyclones can help citizens, businesses, and government agencies build resilience to these pending dangers.
These data portray wind exposure between 1988 and 2022 in the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Ocean basins and between 2001 and 2022 in the Western Pacific Ocean basin. Exposure was quantified using intersecting storm tracks, overlapping wind intensity areas, and calculated return intervals.
