Tracks of all tropical cyclones, 1985-2005

Example: 200 Synthetic Tracks

1. Generate similar Hurricane tracts as Emanuel in the Atlantic.

2. Assign certain numbers of hurricanes and the strength of the hurricane each year, and simulate their effect on THC. The first experiment will be simply adding a number of hurricane in the model and test their mixing effect on THC. If the effect is significant, we may need to have at least another two sets of experiments to isolate the effect of the hurricane on THC, such as in the first set of the experiments we compare simulations with different number of the hurricanes, and the second set is used to compare simulations with different hurricane intensity but the same number of hurricanes.
