Description:
Abstract:
A tropical cyclone breakpoint is an agreed upon coastal
location which can be chosen as specific end points or designated places where
a tropical storm/hurricane watch/warning is in effect. The U.S. National
Weather Service designates the locations along the U.S. East, Gulf, and
California coasts, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Individual countries across the
Caribbean, Central America, and South America provide those coastal locations
for their area(s) of responsibility to the U.S. National Weather Service for
the National Hurricane Center to include in their tropical cyclone advisories
when watches/warnings are issued by international partners.
Purpose:
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis
at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be
displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No
responsibility is assumed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration in the use of these data.
