These data represent a unique subset of the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) data set (1900-2016). Features represent IBTrACS storm track segments that 1) are attributed to the North Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins; 2) do not cross the International Date Line; 3) occur in or after 1900; 4) have maximum wind values above 33 knots; and 5) are attributed as extratropical, subtropical, or tropical. Furthermore, those storm segments that were attributed as tropical within the source data were modified to the appropriate storm category based on the maximum wind speed value per segment.

| Abstract: |
These data represent a unique subset of the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) data set (1900-2016). Features represent IBTrACS storm track segments that 1) are attributed to the North Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins; 2) do not cross the International Date Line; 3) occur in or after 1900; 4) have maximum wind values above 33 knots; and 5) are attributed as extratropical, subtropical, or tropical. Furthermore, those storm segments that were attributed as tropical within the source data were modified to the appropriate storm category based on the maximum wind speed value per segment. |
| Purpose: |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
1. Download IBTrACS storm track data from: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/index.php?name=ibtracs-data 2. Extract those features in the IBTrACS data that are: a) attributed to the North Atlantic Ocean or Eastern Pacific Ocean (NA) basin; b) occur in or after 1900; and c) have maximum wind values above 33 knots. 3. From this subset of the IBTrACS data, extract those features that are attributed as extratropical (ET), subtropical (SS), or tropical (TS). 4. Create a (storm) "Category" field. For features that are tropical storms ('TS'), modify the field value to the appropriate category, based on wind speed (see https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php). Also designate features as 'ET', 'SS', or 'TS' accordingly. 5. Features (segments) from EPAC that crossed the International Dateline were trimmed, as these features cause issues when running the buffer tool for associated exposure model layers. |
