Data: An Investigation of Tropical Cyclone Development Pathways as an Indicator of Extratropical Transition

This is the dataset generated and analyzed in a manuscript to be published in the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan (status from April 2022). Manuscript title: "An Investigation of Tropical Cyclone Development Pathways as an Indicator of Extratropical Transition" Manuscript authors: Ishan Datt, Suzana J. Camargo, Adam H. Sobel, Ron McTaggart-Cowan, and Zhuo Wang The file uploaded was created combining selected information from a subset of tropical cyclones from the National Hurricane Center (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/) and the Joint Typhoon Center Center (https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html?best-tracks) best-track datasets and labels generated in the papers Bieli et al. (2019) about extra-tropical transition and McTaggart-Cowan et al. (2013) about genesis pathways for the common period 1979-2017. The file is in csv format with information on genesis year, month, latitude, longitude, ATCF ID, Storm ID from IBTrACS, genesis pathway type and extra-tropical transition label.
