Typhoon disasters are one of the most frequent and most serious natural disasters in the world, and are a major global problem facing human survival and development today. According to the statistical data of the Typhoon Climate Change Assessment Report compiled by the Typhoon Committee of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), tropical cyclones occur around the world each year, causing an average of 20,000 deaths and more than US$10 billion in economic losses. Due to the externalities, intergenerational equity and global characteristics of climate issues, the impact of typhoons and their prevention and control have always been a hot and difficult issue of concern to all sectors of society. Many academic studies have conducted analysis and discussions on this, and many typhoon research institutes and research projects have been established.

  Typhoons not only cause major damage to nature, but also have a multi-faceted impact on the economy and society. From a macroeconomic perspective, on the one hand, sudden natural disasters such as typhoons will seriously damage the infrastructure and buildings in the affected areas, and may cause a large number of casualties, which will have a negative impact on local economic development; but on the other hand, the building damage caused by natural disasters provides an opportunity for urban building upgrades and new development, eliminates the contradiction between land redevelopment and durable buildings in urban development, and provides new impetus for local economic development. From a micro perspective, the huge damage caused by natural disasters will cause local governments to face huge financial pressure in post-disaster rescue and reconstruction in the short term, which may lead to local governments strengthening tax collection and management of enterprises in their jurisdiction to obtain finances, thereby reducing corporate tax evasion, and these companies with less tax evasion can obtain more subsidies and credit resources from the government in the future.

  The typhoon database launched by the CnOpenData data team contains typhoon information from two sources, each of which has different fields and data volumes. Scholars can freely choose according to their own research needs. Among them, Source A includes three sub-tables: typhoon basic information, typhoon path information, and typhoon wind circle radius; Source B includes four sub-tables: typhoon basic information table, typhoon landing information table, typhoon path information table, and typhoon forecast information table. These two sources comprehensively and completely cover typhoon-related information from my country's southeast coast to the western Pacific Ocean, providing high-quality data resources for related research.

Time interval

• Source A: 1945-2022.5.31 (the start time of the wind circle radius table is 2015)
• Source B: 1949-2022.5.31 (the start time of the forecast information table is 2004)
