A Reanalysis of the 1931–43 Atlantic Hurricane Database*
A reanalysis of the Atlantic basin tropical storm and hurricane database (‘‘best track’’) for the period from 1931 to 1943 has been completed as part of the Atlantic Hurricane Database Reanalysis Project. This re-assessment of the main archive for tropical cyclones of the North Atlantic Ocean, Carib...
