Description
Summary:[Also see page 363 in this issue.] Note that there are numerous sources of TC intensity in the Southern Hemisphere and western North Pacific, which complicates data access and analysis. [...] the new IBTrACS dataset (Knapp et al. 2010; Kruk et al. 2010) provides the original TC intensities in a uniform format and catalogs the full range of reported values for pressure, wind speed, and position for each 6-h time step from each agency.
