dc.description.abstract | Disturbance has been a repeated theme in ecology, yet incorporating its frequency and pattern at broad spatial scales into ecological analyses has been difficult—rather, most environmental data sets used in broad-scale analyses represent average conditions. We present a detailed data set summarizing the frequency (i.e., number of typhoons) and intensity of typhoons (average and maximum windspeeds) across the Western Pacific north of the Equator, based on tracks for 1673 typhoons in data served by the Japan Meteorological Center. The data are aggregated and resampled to 0.2° (~22 km at the Equator) spatial resolution; temporal coverage extends 1951–2014, although we also present data specifically for prior to 1980 and after 1999, to respond to questions related to climate change. | en_US |
