A dataset of global tropical cyclone wind and surface wave measurements from buoy and satellite platforms - Nature Scientific Data

There are now a range of potential data sources for wind and surface wind wave conditions within tropical cyclones. These sources include: in situ buoy data and remote sensing data from altimeters, scatterometers and radiometers. In addition, data providing estimates of tropical cyclone tracks and wind field parameters are available from best track archives. The present dataset brings together this information in a single archive, providing the available data for each tropical cyclone from each of the data sources in a single file. The data consists of observations in a total of 2927 global tropical cyclones over the period from 1985 to 2017. Global statistics of the observations are provided, along with data on the geographic distribution of tropical cyclones within the database.

现在已有一系列可用于获取热带气旋内部风况及表面风浪条件的潜在数据源。这些数据源包括：现场浮标数据，以及来自高度计（altimeters）、散射计（scatterometers）和辐射计（radiometers）的遥感数据。此外，提供热带气旋路径及风场参数估算的数据可从最佳路径档案库获取。本数据集将这些信息整合至单一档案库中，为每个热带气旋提供来自各数据源的可用数据，并存储于单个文件内。该数据包含1985年至2017年间全球范围内共2927个热带气旋的观测记录。数据集还提供了观测结果的全球统计信息，以及数据库内热带气旋的地理分布数据。
