Hurricane - Available Services

Hurricane Track Visualization/Metadata

For the SCOOP project (NOAA and ONR funded) UAH/ITSC has implemented a WFS for hurricane tracks and associated information. For all historical and current Atlantic hurricanes, we store track point information and metadata for the points - in a database. We use the WFS to display the information so users can decide spatial and temporal parmaeters for data search in our SCOOP project. Other apps have been starting to use the same data and services.

Here is the storm search page - "Quick Search by Storm" option

Here is an example display using the WFS (Gaston in 2004).

Here is the corresponding WFS call for the example above (Gaston was storm # 07 in 2004)
