- Abstract:
- A tropical cyclone breakpoint is an agreed upon coastal location which
can be chosen as specific end points or designated places where a tropical
storm/hurricane watch/warning is in effect. The U.S. National Weather
Service designates the locations along the U.S. East, Gulf, and California
coasts, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Individual countries across the
Caribbean, Central America, and South America provide those coastal
locations for their area(s) of responsibility to the U.S. National Weather
Service for the National Hurricane Center to include in their tropical
cyclone advisories when watches/warnings are issued by international
partners.
- Purpose:
- These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the
national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed
and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No
responsibility is assumed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration in the use of these data.
