%%
% Plots historical tropical cyclone tracks based on the year they occurred
% and either their storm number or name. The tracks are stored in matlab
% binary format in the _best_tracks_ folder and updates may be obtained at
% <ftp://texmex.mit.edu/pub/emanuel/HURR/tracks/>. Plotting characteristics
% are controlled from the _params.m_ file, and tracks may be color-coded by
% their intensity or by their Saffir-Simpson designation. Tracks are
% labeled by their locations at 00 GMT.

% This version of the script uses MATLAB's mapping toolbox. Various map
% properties can be set in _params.m_ .
