Users should not use this version except in rare cases (e.g., when reproducing previous studies that used this version).** The Hurricane Satellite (HURSAT) from derived International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1 observations of tropical cyclones worldwide data consist of raw satellite observations. The data derive from the global constellation of geostationary satellites (GOES, Meteosat, MS, and FY2 series) spanning 1978 through 2009. The data include infrared window, visible and other channels available from the satellite instruments. Hurricane database (HURDAT) and best track information, from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), were temporally-interpolated to match the satellite data resolution. The satellite data were then gridded to 8km, with grid centers fixed on the tropical cyclone center of circulation at 3-hour intervals. Data include hurricanes from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean Basins. Data are provided in a convenient NetCDF format which is self-documenting and follows standard storage and metadata conventions. Since the B1 data in general consists of many different formats a uniform B1 format (B1U) was developed to contain all the data, but in a consistent format. The B1U format is a flat binary format with headers providing metadata along with the imagery. Version 5 supersedes all other versions. To provide a cohesive data set of historical tropical cyclone centered imagery for future analysis.
