 Chenoweth conducted a basin-wide reassessment for old source material from the 1700 to 1855 period by using surface weather observations mainly in the form of ship reports, newspapers, and various diaries and journals from the region around the Caribbean Sea.There is agreement within tropical cyclone circles of doing an "Atlantic-style" reanalysis for other ocean basins.Some efforts are underway to start similar reanalyses across the western and eastern north Pacific Ocean, but are likely to take longer to complete.
