Storm.get_ships_analysis

Storm.get_ships_analysis()[source]

Creates a custom Storm object consisting of SHIPS initialized analyses. This includes the various diagnostics SHIPS provides, such as sea surface temperatures and ocean heat content, as variables of this object.

Returns

tropycal.tracks.Storm – Custom Storm object containing SHIPS analysis data.

Notes

  1. SHIPS does not include MSLP data. As such, all MSLP data for this Storm object is set to NaN.

  2. Track and intensity data are based off operational analyses, and as such may differ from the storm’s HURDATv2 entry.

  3. Storm type may erroneously reflect a tropical cyclone during times when the storm was extratropical, especially towards the end of its lifetime.
