TrackDataset.wind_pres_relationship

TrackDataset.wind_pres_relationship(storm=None, climo_bounds=None, return_dict=False, save_path=None)[source]

Creates a climatology of maximum sustained wind speed vs minimum MSLP relationships.

Parameters

  • storm (str or tuple) – Storm to plot. Can be either string of storm ID (e.g., “AL052019”), or tuple with storm name and year (e.g., (“Matthew”,2016)).

  • climo_bounds (list or tuple) – List or tuple representing the start and end years (e.g., (1950,2018)). Default is the start and end of dataset.

  • return_dict (bool) – If False (default), plot axes will be returned. If True, a dictionary containing the raw data is returned.

  • save_path (str) – Determines the file path to save the image to. If blank or none, image will be directly shown.

Returns

ax or dict – By default, the plot axes is returned. If return_dict is True, a dictionary containing data about the wind vs. MSLP relationship climatology is returned.

Notes

Climatology is only valid for time steps during which cyclones were tropical or subtropical.
