Scraped dataset of the Hurricane Research Division's Hurricane Re-Analysis Project known as HURDAT. Storm details are available for most known hurricanes and tropical storms for the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific ocean (northwestern hemisphere). See < https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/Data_Storm.html> for more information.
This R package currently aims to reorganize the NOAA HURDAT2 dataset for Atlantic, East Pacific and Central Pacific-basin tropical cyclones and present it in a cleaner format.
The Atlantic basin dataset covers all cyclones that have developed in the Atlantic Ocean. The eastern Pacific datasets cover cyclones in the Pacifc from the United States/Mexico coastlines to -140°W where the cyclone entered what is referred to as the central Pacific basin. The central Pacific basin extends westward to -180°W.

===========================
HURDAT is a R library that scrapes the most recent HURDAT dataset from the National Hurricane Center. Datasets cover the Atlantic and northwestern Pacific ocean. This dataset is a best-track post-storm analysis as determined by the Hurricane Research Division.
Dataset may contain errors; particularly with latitude and longitude. This is in the original dataset; not an issue with the scraping function. However, if you notice any errors, please send post them to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/timtrice/HURDAT/issues.
Access Atlantic basin data with the call data("AL")
; Pacific data with `data("EP").
