Re: Student, Need Help Finding Data

The Faculty and Staff at LSU ESL have a website with information on several Hurricanes over the last 5-6 years. Department Chair is Dr Nan Walker PhD.

The images on the first link have storm tracks and Sea Height in centimeters superimposed on them. That might require a great deal of conversion for your project.

Another site with information. Colorado State Univ.

There are other sites. The best seem to be colleges and government. I obtained the above using Google.
