Generate location profile report on historical tropical cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons)

Generate location profile report on historical tropical cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons)

This API returns a download link to a location profile report on historical tropical cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons). Three regions (North Atlantic, West Pacific and Australia) are analysed, and more information can be found here. Detailed data sources used are acknowledged in the report. Sample reports are also available at https://www.propertylocation360.com. Upon request, links to many detailed charts included in the PDF report can be exposed and added. For the latest R&D on cyclone risk analysis, please check BigData Earth website.
