Hi Mohammad,
Attached is a sample script that plots the tracks for 1 year. You should be
able to edit it to plot other years or do some of the other tasks you want
to do.
A few notes on IBTrACS...
- In my script, I use the wmo subset, which is much easier to work with as
there is only one track for each storm. The version you were using has
tracks from all available data sources.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ibtracs/index.php?name=wmo-data
- For the NIO, the WMO data only go back to 1990. The ibtracs_all has JTWC
and other archival sources that go back much further, but their quality may
be more questionable.
- You should be able to trim the tracks for the winds using the wind_wmo
variable.
- If you want to pick an individual storm, search for it in the file using
the "storm_sn" variable. The serial number for the storm you're looking for
can be found by browsing this page:

Hope this helps...
Carl
