Short summary
Historical observational records of tropical cyclones (TCs) are incomplete, especially before the satellite era. We created a global TC dataset from reanalysis data covering 1850 to 2014. The dataset matches recent storm patterns well and can provide useful extra information on storm tracks and strength when older records are missing, helping improve our understanding of past tropical cyclone activity.
