traveled ?
Contributed by Neal Dorst (HRD) and Sandy Delgado (NHC)
Here are lists of the longest path lengths (rounded off) for four basins.
These paths are based on distance traveled from the first advisory where a
circulation was detected until the last advisory while the system was still
considered a 'tropical cyclone'.
