A while ago, I used to research atmospheric physics. Specifically, we found some interesting patterns in tropical cyclone data, including a shortening of the life cycle of major tropical cyclones, recent migration of tropical cyclones toward coasts, and more tropical cyclones making landfall with increased intensity.
The original code I used was some low-quality pandas stuff.
Given the original IBTrACS dataset is an .nc file, I'll remake the analysis for the landward migration result using xarray.
There are 13286 storms in (my version of) the dataset.
uv run python plot_tracks.py shows the storm tracks across part of 2017.
The distance to land trend (based on the old data I have on my laptop) for hurricanes (tropical cyclones with maximum wind speeds category 1 and above) uv run python distance_to_land.py.
