The B1 data are subsampled observations from the global constellation of geostationary satellites (GOES, Meteosat, GMS, and FY2 series) spanning 1978 through to present year. The data include infrared window, visible and other channels available from the satellite instruments. IBTrACS (International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship) best track locations of all global tropical cyclones 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 are provided in a convenient NetCDF format which is self-documenting and follows standard storage and metadata conventions. HURSAT version 6 also contains information about the image derived from storm centering algorithms including ARCHER [Wimmer's SSEC algorithm] and the axisymmetric technique. Azimuthal statistics derived from these positions are also provided. Version 6 supersedes all other HURSAT B1 versions. To provide a cohesive data set of historical tropical cyclone centered imagery for future analysis (e.g., forecast development, climate analysis, etc.).

The IBTrACS positions of tropical cyclones are interpolated in time to match the geostationary image time. The geostationary data are then interpolated to a latitude/longitude grid centered on the cyclone center, using nearest neighbor. The resulting data are stored in netCDF files. Some cyclone centering techniques are applied to the data and their results are stored in the netCDF files as well. Identify tropical cyclone(s) in satellite data. Need to know where the tropical cyclones are.
