Back then, data collection was far less reliable, coming from ships and lighthouses all over the world rather than satellites. So this map is likely missing hundreds of hurricanes that were never noticed or reported . Geostationary satellites, such as NOAAs GOES, revolutionized the ability of meteorologists to track cyclones, the map-makers explain. Not a single storm is missed as these eyes in the sky provide consistent scans of the globe every few minutes.
