 <\/p>\n

Cyclone-tracking algorithms<\/h3>\n

TRACK<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/strong>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<\/a>; Hodges et al., 1999<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

TempestExtremes<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/strong>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<\/a>; Ullrich et al., 2021<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

WiTRACK<\/strong><\/a>
\nWindstorm identification algorithm based on a given wind-speed threshold to determine storm footprints and surface impacts (Leckebusch et al., 2008<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cyclone-focussed data analysis in Python<\/h3>\n

huracanpy<\/a><\/strong> (Hurac\u00e1n<\/em> development)
\n<\/strong>Package for reading, analysing and visualising cyclone track data in most formats.<\/span><\/p>\n

CPyS<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Package for computing cyclone phase-space parameters.<\/span><\/p>\n

storm_assess<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Package for reading TRACK and TempestExtremes output (superseded by huracanpy<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n

TroPYcal<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/strong>Package for visualisation of IBTrACS and forecast datasets.<\/span><\/p>\n
