Huracán ‘Big Doc’

Huracán Documentation
An overall summary of definitions, datasets, software and other important information.

 

Cyclone-tracking algorithms

TRACK
Feature tracking based on spectrally filtered fields as well as various analysis utilities, such as cyclone-centred sampling, cyclone phase-space computation, and density calculations (Hodges et al., 1995; Hodges et al., 1999).

TempestExtremes
Software package for nodal and areal feature tracking, including support for unstructured grids, as well as various analysis utilities, such as cyclone-centred sampling and compositing (Ullrich et al., 2017; Ullrich et al., 2021).

WiTRACK
Windstorm identification algorithm based on a given wind-speed threshold to determine storm footprints and surface impacts (Leckebusch et al., 2008).

 

Cyclone-focussed data analysis in Python

huracanpy (Huracán development)
Package for reading, analysing and visualising cyclone track data in most formats.

CPyS
Package for computing cyclone phase-space parameters.

storm_assess
Package for reading TRACK and TempestExtremes output (superseded by huracanpy).

TroPYcal
Package for visualisation of IBTrACS and forecast datasets.
