[edit] Summary

This map shows the tracks of all Tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1950 to 2005. The points show the locations of the storms at six-hourly intervals and use the color scheme from Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. When the storm was tropical, the data point is represented by a circle, when subtropical a square and when extratropical a triangle is used.

Tracking data for storms in the North Atlantic and East Pacific is from the National Hurricane Center.[1] Tracking data for storms in the Indian Ocean, the Northwest Pacific and the South Pacific is from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.[2] Tracking data for Cyclone Catarina in the South Atlantic was published in Gary Padgett's April 2004 Monthly Tropical Cyclone Summary and was originally produced by Roger Edson, University of Guam.
