Historical, major hurricane tracks comparison and Hurricane Otto main characteristics. a Historical, category 5 hurricane tracks with at least one segment along trajectory as category 3 for the Atlantic and eastern Tropical Pacific basins (1900–2017), bolder trajectory line denotes the best track of Hurricane Otto (November 20–26, 2016). Historical trajectories were constructed based on a combined dataset of NHC (National Hurricane Center) archive and HURDAT (Hurricane Databases) (https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/Data_Storm.html). Wind speed (m/s) segments are color-coded with their respective storm category. b System status from 1800 UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) November 18 to 1200 UTC November 25, 2016. Raindrops represent ground-based cumulative rainfall during November 24–25, 2016. Raster color-coded grid shows cumulative rainfall estimated for November 23–25, 2016 from TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) (https://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/)
