π― Storm Pattern Analysis with Separate Visualizations
Four separate plots: Clustering, Routes, Pressure Evolution, and Wind Evolution
UMAP provides better global structure preservation
π Enhanced Clustering Features:
- All Basin Analysis: Uses data from all global tropical cyclone basins
- Complete Historical Coverage: Analyzes patterns from 1851-2025
- Separate Visualizations: Four distinct plots for comprehensive analysis
- Multi-dimensional Analysis: Uses 15+ storm characteristics including intensity, track shape, genesis location

- Interactive: Hover over points to see storm details, zoom and pan all plots
π― How to Interpret:
- Clustering Plot: Each dot is a storm positioned by similarity (close = similar characteristics)
- Routes Plot: Actual geographic storm tracks, colored by which cluster they belong to
- Pressure Plot: Shows how pressure changes over time for storms in each cluster
- Wind Plot: Shows wind speed evolution patterns for each cluster
- Cluster Colors: Each cluster gets a unique color across all four visualizations
