Title: Fictional Tropical Cyclone Season Thread
Post by: atomic7732 on August 23, 2010, 07:44:08 PM
I used the track making program for my own purpose.

Tropical Storm Alex: Hit Cuba.
Hurricane Bondie (Cat 3): Formed north of Cuba, took a cyclonic loop, followed along the coast, and made landfall in Florida as a category 1.
Tropical Storm Cephalo: North of South America, and recurved as a Depression.
Tropical Storm Diana: In the Gulf, landfall as Tropical Storm in Louisiana.
Hurricane Erik (Cat 3): Crossed Florida, paralleled the coast, and made landfall as cat 1 near Massachusetts.
Tropical Storm Fifi: Central Atlantic erratic pathed storm.
Hurricane Gregory (Cat 1): Hit Cuba as a strong Tropical Storm after being hurricane in the southern Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Iana: Tropical Storm in the Gulf. Curved north after travelling east.
Hurricane Jose (Cat 5): Formed east of Cape Verde, moved into the Caribbean as a Category 5, weakened and re-strengthened, finally hitting New Orleans as cat 4.
Hurricane Kali (cat 2): Formed north of Hispaniola. Became cat 2 in the Bahamas.

Post any and all fictional hurricane seasons you've created and discuss them here.

Make track points bigger. Too hard to see. That's all that's needed next time. :P

Note: Working on the 1001 Hurricane Season... lol Names?

Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season

Okay, then I'll probably need to make 2 maps for active seasons.  :P

It's Slavic, and there's a 99.7% chance there will be a "B" storm.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 28, 2010, 11:39:21 PM
What about the .3% In the history of the Atlantic, there has been at least 3 tropical cyclones in the year. Not necessarily a hurricane (2 years (I think) didn't have a hurricane), but 100% of a B storm. Sadly, I am trying to keep the crazy names to a minimum, and I called it Brian just before you had posted it. I am expecting my season to be a bit overactive. It's going to have 15 named storms.

Post by: Darvince on August 29, 2010, 06:26:22 PM
Since your maps don't cover the entire basin, is it possible in your program to view two different areas without having to import from one to another?
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 29, 2010, 07:10:28 PM
It's because I didn't use the whole basin yet. It resizes the maps for where the points are. I can put EPAC and ATL on the same map if I wanted.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: Darvince on August 29, 2010, 07:16:03 PM
Oh.  :-[ It's just I thought the program only output 1024x633 images because that's the size of both the seasons.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 29, 2010, 07:33:40 PM
that's the default resolution, but it can change height shape a bit. It's just a one-diameter resolution, and it just so happens it wanted to fit my system the default two dimension resolution way.

How long did it take you to write this thing???
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 29, 2010, 08:10:33 PM
The program? I didn't write the program.
The season? about two hours so far.

If you want the program, I can teach you how to use HURDAT (easy) and how to get the program (something you need to know a little bit about computers to do).

From what I've known you on the forums so far, I think you are EASILY capable of installing and using the program.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: Darvince on August 29, 2010, 09:02:22 PM
I found the HURDAT, Now what?  ???
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 29, 2010, 09:19:08 PM
No no no... It comes with the HURDAT you need. It's almost like scripting for storms... I'll teach you that once you get it running.

Download the latest version of VirtualBox, and Ubuntu.

Then I shall tell you the rest after school tommorow.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: Darvince on August 29, 2010, 11:25:44 PM
This is taking a while. More than an hour to go on Ubuntu!  :o

 >:( I found Wubi and it's just over a megabyte!
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 30, 2010, 07:09:53 AM
You can't get on ubuntu. That's and .iso file, and it won't work yet.

It's a large file, because it is an OS.

It only runs in a Linux environment. If you want you can try cygwin, but idk how to do that.

That's why I said, get VirtualBox, it gives a separate environment for side OSs.

So you must install VirtualBox first, then download Ubuntu (don't do it while you are installing, it cuts you form the internet), then you create an OS, and then select it, and click Start. It will ask you to create a hard drive (choose dynamically expanding and the default values), and where you want the disk from (iso is a disk image file, but you don't need a disk) so click the folder thing that you use to browse. Then select where you downloaded Ubuntu. Some other stuff will happen, and then it will ask you if you want to try or install. Click install.

That'll take about 15-30 mins.

Then it will ask if you want to restart. Do that.

(1)
Let it do it's thing, and open VirtualBox again (most likely it's just minimized), and click settings (next to Start). Then click system. Under "Boot Order" select "Hard Disk" and move it to the top using the arrows next to the box, or unselect the other options.

Go back to Ubuntu (should already be open), and click the power looking button in the top right corner of Ubuntu itself, not the red x!!!

Then re-open ubuntu in VirtualBox (green start arrow if you don't remember), if it prompts you to Try or install = again, then go up to the (1) and try the option you didn't do.

The rest of the tutorial will be typed when I get back from school. This should occupy 1 hour out of your day or so. You can explore on Firefox, download a few things, go on the forums, try it out a bit, get familiar.

If you DO want to continue, and you feel you can do this on your own, you can go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones/Tracks
NOTE: YOU CAN'T COPY FROM WINDOWS TO UBUNTU: OPEN THIS PAGE IN UBUNTU IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE ABOVE.

It's mostly self explanatory, but a few things aren't.

Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on August 31, 2010, 06:58:19 AM
You click download. And wait for it to finish.

Don't even dare try to load it without VirtualBox.

That could make your OS be Ubuntu.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: deoxy99 on August 31, 2010, 08:15:06 AM
Actually, Wubi is an installer, which gives you Ubuntu as a side-OS, and every time you reboot, it asks you to choose if you want to use the Windows OS or Ubuntu.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season

How do you download and install the program? When I type svn co svn://blah blah blah... it instead gives me a list of the files.
Title: Re: Random Atlantic Hurricane Season
Post by: atomic7732 on September 01, 2010, 07:02:34 PM
It should then ask your password. Input that. Then it should give oyu a list of files, then ask [y/n]

My newest work follows. It's a 23 system season without extratropical points, in the Western Pacific. There are 22 storms, 12 typhoons, and 3 super typhoons. The Philippines (aside from cat 5 equivalent Twenty-one) and Vietnam had an easy year, and the ocean is busy as always.

It's my first attempt at a fake infrared satellite image. It took about 3 minutes. I'm sure if I had had more time it would have been much better.

I didn't want to do that cause that's an Auspik name on the Seraj Ocean name list

Hurricane Korra (upper right) and Tropical Storm Lenny (bottom left) coexisted... so I made this fake IR image of the eastern central Atlantic :P

"Help his favorite country"

Seems legit. Just make Isaac run into New Orleans as a category 3 instead of a weaker storm affecting Florida.

What makes this funnier is the storm's name...

Isaac

WIP but probably won't be finished

I was going to use a real map of the coastline but I'm too lazy (no surprise there)

Edit: Before someone complains that <insert island of Greater Antilles> isn't there, I know.

was like this

(btw, for anyone confused, since it's from 1887 there's enough missing data that there were probably 4 to 10 more storms than it lists)

The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season was characterized by weak Cape Verde systems and high shear in the Carribean throughout the season. Only 7 storms and 2 hurricanes managed to form. It also had a very late start, with a general lack of even invests throughout the early season. It was an inactive season for most of the Atlantic, although quite active for the Gulf coast with both Delilah and Antony making landfall near the Floridian panhandle.

Goes with this article: http://nonexistentcyclonicstorms.wikia.com/wiki/2006_Atlantic_cyclone_season

In real life when we went to Hawaii a few years ago we got slammed by two hurricanes in a row.

Post by: atomic7732 on August 27, 2015, 09:21:10 AM
i wonder if i could make it so that people can upload a text file with a specified name (preexisting or not) and have it able to be plotted by the cyclone track tool so that if dar or other people want they can have their seasons like here (http://paladinofstorms.net/cyclone/tracks/historic.html) and i could customize the colors maybe or add different color schemes... actually no you know what the best thing would be is if i overlayed a map of universalis and had it so you could make universalian cyclones. but then you don't really have a corpus to learn from

data would be written like BA,0,2015082700,,,24.7N,138.6E,70,974,TS

where BA = two letter basin identifier (not used)
0 = storm number (sequential; not used)
yymmddhh
latitude
longitude
wind in kts
pressure in hPa
and TS = any of the codes which forces track color (TS or anything not listed does whatever that basin should, DS disturbance, ET extratropical, SS subtropical)

input? want?
