will2

Numeric vector of radius from the storm center to the point you are
measuring, in kilometers

Numeric vector of radius at start of transition zone, in
kilometers

Calculates equation 2 from Willoughby et al. (2006).

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
Department of Energy (DE-FG02-08ER64644).
