Interactive Track Explorer
This page provides an interactive visualization of storm tracks generated by PyStormTracker. You can filter tracks by time, intensity, duration, and displacement, and switch between different map projections.
About the Data
The tracks shown above are from the ERA5 Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSL) dataset for the DJF 2025-2026 period, tracked using the Hodges algorithm at 2.5° resolution.
Filtering Options
Map Projection: Choose between Globe (3D) or Global (Lat/Lon).
Time Range: Select a specific time window using the dual-handle slider. Use the Play button to animate the cyclone movements over time.
Peak Strength: Filter tracks by their maximum intensity (Minimum MSL pressure for cyclones or Maximum Vorticity).
Min Duration: Only show tracks that lasted longer than the specified hours.
Min Displacement: Only show tracks that traveled further than the specified distance (great-circle distance between start and end points).
