Hurricane Since 1851 Mapped So the Visual Graph
Visual chart shows the location and intensity of each storm.
If you would like to see a long history of hurricanes on Earth, you can figure it out easily. Now there is a visual chart that maps a hurricane since 1851.
John Nelson, User Experience and Mapping manager IDV Solutions, a
the company has compiled a data visualization, data visualization through storm maps showing the location and intensity of each storm. This criterion is included in tropical storms recorded since 1851.
To quote the page, using a database of NewScientist Nelson accumulation by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Nelson entered more than 12,000 data points in this infografik.
The map uses the Saffir-Simpson scale, the hurricane rating with maximum speeds of category 1 (slower than 153 kilometres per hour) up to a category 5, where the peak wind speed of 252 miles per hour. The storm was weak in infpgrafik is represented by blue point, while strong storms are marked with green electricity.
Nelson choose bottom-up viewpoint of unusual from the Earth, with the Antarctic Centre. So, he found this view is the best view of the underlying pattern that represents the formation of storms.
One of the features that is very striking is the absence of a number of data points in the vicinity of the equator, a black ribbon between two coloured circles. This is due to the Coriolis force, something which is important in the formation of a hurricane, showing the storm too weak to operate at a latitude of the equator.
Before you start to worry about the high number of storms projected across Europe and North America, this is only a representation of data. Detailed satellite imaging from the Eastern and southern hemispheres is a relatively recent development, so naturally and archive NOAA poorly equipped for those parts of the world as can be seen in the chart below which shows the distribution of the data that are available from time to time.
