StormR is an R package allowing to easily extract storm track data for given locations or areas of interests, to generate wind speed and direction fields, and to compute summary statistics characterising the behaviour of winds generated by tropical storms and cyclones: maximum sustained wind speed, power dissipation index, and duration of exposure to winds reaching defined speed thresholds.

StormR is now available on CRAN on version 0.2.1. You can install it as follows:

install.packages("StormR")

The latest development version can be installed from GitHub as follows,

#install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("umr-amap/StormR")

Alternatively, you can install StormR using conda / mamba. Check here for more info.

conda config --add channels conda-forge      # make sure you add conda-forge to your channel list
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install r-stormr    # or mamba install r-stormr
