Introduction
The purpose of the HURSAT project is to provide Tropical Cyclone-"centric" satellite data. The goal is to keep data small and portable. In doing so, HURSAT data are gridded and stored using the netCDF file format.
The HURSAT data project began with HURSAT-B1, but there is a need for HURSAT data from other satellite data sources (which have different temporal and spatial resolutions). We aim to be responsive to user's needs. So if one of the HURSAT flavors best suits your work, please let us know. Also, if you would like to see a new HURSAT flavor (not shown in the list at left) please contact us.

Coming soon: HURSAT-B1 Update
HURSAT B1 will be updated by September 30th, 2009.
