TropiCycloneNet-Dataset

Synthetic-backed storm-track benchmark adapter aligned to the TropiCycloneNet-Dataset ecosystem.

Overview

TropiCycloneNet-Dataset is the public storm adapter used by the TropiCycloneNet model path on the shared track-intensity evaluator.

The current implementation is synthetic-backed, but it preserves the task, metric, and reporting surface used by the shared tropical cyclone benchmark.

Data Characteristics

  • Storm-history sequences with future latitude, longitude, and intensity targets.

  • Registry-backed benchmark adapter rather than a raw external dataset ingestion path.

  • Intended for benchmark-linked storm forecasting smoke runs.

Typical Use Cases

  • TropiCycloneNet smoke tests.

  • Shared tropical cyclone benchmark runs.

  • Regression checks for track-intensity prediction models.

PyHazards Usage

Use this adapter when you want the public TropiCycloneNet-Dataset-aligned storm surface exposed by the tropical cyclone benchmark.

Registry Workflow

Primary dataset name: tropicyclonenet_dataset

from pyhazards.datasets import load_dataset

data = load_dataset(
    "tropicyclonenet_dataset",
    micro=True,
    history=6,
    horizon=5,
).load()

train = data.get_split("train")
print(train.inputs.shape, train.targets.shape)

Inspection Workflow

This dataset is currently surfaced as a registry-backed benchmark adapter, so there is no standalone inspection CLI documented for it.

Notes

  • This is a synthetic-backed benchmark adapter rather than a full TropiCycloneNet-Dataset downloader.
