This file describes the data pre-processing that was done to the Tropical cyclones wind speed buffers footprint 1970-2009 for display on Resource Watch.
This dataset is provided by the source as a (zipped) GeoTIFF file. The following variables are shown on Resource Watch:
- 1970-2009 Maximum Storm Intensity (cy_intensity): Highest estimated category on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, which measures storm intensity, during 1970-2009.
Because the data were already provided in a compatible format and projection, very little processing was necessary to display this data on Resource Watch.
Please see the Python script for more details on this processing.
You can view the processed dataset for display on Resource Watch.
