HRD Data Sets
NOAA's Hurricane Research Division has a variety of data sets that
have been collected during their annual Hurricane Field Program.
This consists mostly of data collected by NOAA aircraft flying into
and around hurricanes, but also includes wind field analyses, land
based radar loops, and data archived from U.S. Air Force reconnaisance
flights.
To access this data, we ask that you read our
Data Policy and then sign in below. This will take
you to our main data page which should allow you to navigate
through the years to find the storm you want.
For problems pleas contact
HRD's Webmaster.

Many Type 1 (raw) and
Type 2 (quick look) are
freely available on this web site. Some
Type 3 (original data) is only available on request.
We ask that a proper acknowledgement to the "NOAA Hurricane Research
Division of AOML" accompany the use of these data in any publications
or presentations. If Type 2 or 3 data are used in a scientific paper,
please cite the relevant publication(s) of the HRD staff scientists who
developed the methods for generating or processing the data.
If use of Type 2 or 3 data in a
publication constitutes a major or fairly significant aspect of an article,
co-authorship by an HRD scientist is appropriate; please discuss any such
planned use with the associated contact scientist
listed in the metadata or information sections for the particular data
type.
If you do cite our work in a publication, please send us a reprint or an
email with the citation, so that we might keep track of the use of our work.
Thank you in advance.
Please check the HRD Staff and Publication pages
for additional citations that may help your research. We welcome
collaborations and will lend our expertise in interpretation and
evaluation of the data.
NOAA's Mission is
to describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment, and
conserve and manage wisely the Nation's coastal and marine resources
to ensure sustainable economic opportunities.
NOAA's Integrated Observing
System
An Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management
System is NOAA's top cross-cutting priority for the 21st century.
HRD's Data policy attempts to reflect this priority and strives to
meet its requirements and the
NOAA data Quality Information Guidelines. A
vision document (still in draft form as of 3-17-2004) is available.
As mentioned with in the
NOAA's FY03 - FY08 Strategic Plan. For more information please
