台风是重大灾害性天气，台风引起的直接灾害通常由三方面造成，狂风、暴雨、风暴潮，除此以外台风的这些灾害极易诱发城市内涝、房屋倒塌、山洪、泥石流等次生灾害。正因如此，台风在科研和业务工作中是研究的重点。希望这次台风路径可视化可以给予大家一点点帮助。

台风路径的获取

中国气象局(CMA)

中国气象局(CMA)的台风最佳路径数据集(BST)，BST是之后对历史台风路径进行校正后发布的，其经纬度、强度、气压具有更高的可靠性，但是时间分辨率为6小时，部分3小时，这一点不如观测数据

导入模块并读取数据，使用BST的2018年台风路径数据作为示例，已经将原始的txt文件转换为xls文件。

import os, glob
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import shapely.geometry as sgeom
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.image import imread

df = pd.read_csv('./2018typhoon.csv')

定义等级色标

def get_color(level):
  global color
  if level == '热带低压' or level == '热带扰动':
    color='#FFFF00'
  elif level == '热带风暴':
    color='#6495ED'
  elif level == '强热带风暴':
    color='#3CB371'
  elif level == '台风':
    color='#FFA500'
  elif level == '强台风':
    color='#FF00FF'
  elif level == '超强台风':
    color='#DC143C'
  return color

定义底图函数

def create_map(title, extent):
  fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
  ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection=ccrs.PlateCarree())
  url = 'http://map1c.vis.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts-geo/wmts.cgi'
  layer = 'BlueMarble_ShadedRelief'
  ax.add_wmts(url, layer)
  ax.set_extent(extent,crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())

  gl = ax.gridlines(draw_labels=False, linewidth=1, color='k', alpha=0.5, linestyle='--')
  gl.xlabels_top = gl.ylabels_right = False 
  ax.set_xticks(np.arange(extent[0], extent[1]+5, 5))
  ax.set_yticks(np.arange(extent[2], extent[3]+5, 5))
  ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(LongitudeFormatter())
  ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(plt.MultipleLocator(1))
  ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(LatitudeFormatter())
  ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(plt.MultipleLocator(1))
  ax.tick_params(axis='both', labelsize=10, direction='out')

  a = mlines.Line2D([],[],color='#FFFF00',marker='o',markersize=7, label='TD',ls='')
  b = mlines.Line2D([],[],color='#6495ED', marker='o',markersize=7, label='TS',ls='')

  ax.legend(handles=[a,b,c,d,e,f], numpoints=1, handletextpad=0, loc='upper left', shadow=True)
  plt.title(f'{title} Typhoon Track', fontsize=15)
  return ax

定义绘制单个台风路径方法，并绘制2018年第18号台风温比亚。

def draw_single(df):
  ax = create_map(df['名字'].iloc[0], [110, 135, 20, 45])
  for i in range(len(df)):
    ax.scatter(list(df['经度'])[i], list(df['纬度'])[i], marker='o', s=20, color=get_color(list(df['强度'])[i]))

    pointA = list(df['经度'])[i],list(df['纬度'])[i]
    pointB = list(df['经度'])[i+1],list(df['纬度'])[i+1]
    ax.add_geometries([sgeom.LineString([pointA, pointB])], color=get_color(list(df['强度'])[i+1]),crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())
  plt.savefig('./typhoon_one.png')
draw_single(df[df['编号']==1818])

定义绘制多个台风路径方法，并绘制2018年全年的全部台风路径。
