Atlantic Hurricane Tracking by Year, Advanced Cartographic Design project

hurricane image

This project is a major expansion of an earlier, less exhaustive hurricane-plotting project. Hurricane tracks now include all years from 1851 to 2005. Tracks are displayed in chart form with a corresponding data graph that lists the storm by name and duration. Each chart includes a color-coded Saphir-Simpson Scale, divided by category, which describes maximum wind speed in miles per hour. Only those storms reaching Hurricane Strength have been plotted and are listed by order of occurrence for the given year.
