飓风"桑迪" (Sandy)横扫美国东部,并在纽约附近登录,带走113条人命,并造成500亿美元的损失,桑迪也被列为美国历史上最昂贵的飓风。我们今天利用之前介绍过的Python的matplotlibbasemap包,来制作桑迪的路径图,重构桑迪的整个发育过程。

下面是做成动画效果的GIF图 (由于博客园不允许上传2M以上的图片,所以分辨率有限,但你总可以作出一个高分辨率的动画。)

我在图画中加入阴影,以显示夜晚时间。可以看到,桑迪形成之后,先在巴拿马附近徘徊,随后穿过古巴,并在此过程中加强为Hurricane-2。随后桑迪划过美国东海岸,之后突然转向西,直奔纽约,并于29日下午在纽约南侧登录。

下载:数据文件

数据文件中的wind(最大风速)单位为knot,pressure(气压)单位为mb,时间为世界时。
