## Overview

`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.

## Usage

### Installing StormR

`StormR` is now [available on CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=StormR) on version `0.1.1`.

You can install it as follows:

``` r

install.packages("StormR")

```

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

``` r

#install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("umr-amap/StormR")

```

### Loading StormR package

``` r

library(StormR)

```
