This animation shows the life-cycle of the Expedition storm as reconstructed by the NOAA 20th Century Reanalysis v.3, beginning from its formation in the Gulf of Mexico on October 28, 1861 until it disappeared a week later off the coast of Canada. The shape of the storm is revealed by the large amount of water in the air (precipitable water in kg/m2) shown in shades of red and blue. NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory.
