The Atlantic Hurricane Database Re-analysis Project is an effort led by the Hurricane Research Division to extend and revise the National Hurricane Center's North Atlantic hurricane database (or HURDAT). Going back to 1851 and revisiting storms in more recent years, information on tropical cyclones is revised using an enhanced collection of historical meteorological data in the context of today's scientific understanding of hurricanes and analysis techniques.
To receive email updates about progress in the Atlantic Hurricane Re-analysis Project, send an email to Chris Landsea.

February 2008 - A complete reanalysis was conducted for the yearsof 1915 to 1920. All storms of the era were revised in track and intensity. Eight new tropical storms were added during this period and one of the original tropical storms in HURDAT was removed.

March 2008 - The 2007 Atlantic and Northeast Pacific hurricane season databases have been incorporated into the Data section. Additionally, minor changes have been introduced for Storm #2 1915 and Storm #4 1938.
