katrina_tracks

A dataframe containing hurricane best tracks for Hurricane Katrina in
2005. This dataframe is included for use as an example hurricane
tracks dataframe in the package documentation. This data originally
came from the Extended Best Track dataset:

datasets

Allows users to input tracking data for a hurricane
or other tropical storm, along with a data frame of grid points at which
to model wind speeds. Functions in this package will then calculate wind
speeds at each point based on wind model equations. This modeling framework
is currently set up to model winds for North American locations with
Atlantic basin storms. This work was supported
in part by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences (R00ES022631), the National Science Foundation (1331399), and the
