This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1985 to 2005. The map was created with the WPTC track map generator by Nilfanion.. The track map generator program generates a track map from the NHC HURDAT data, [A 1] or from Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) B-deck data files (commonly referred to as "best track" files).
