climate - Interface to Download Meteorological (and Hydrological) Datasets

Automatize downloading of meteorological and hydrological data from publicly available repositories: OGIMET (<http://ogimet.com/index.phtml.en>), University of Wyoming - atmospheric vertical profiling data (<http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/>), Polish Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - National Research Institute (<https://danepubliczne.imgw.pl>), and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This package also allows for searching geographical coordinates for each observation and calculate distances to the nearest stations.

thunder - Computation and Visualisation of Atmospheric Convective Parameters

Allow to compute and visualise convective parameters commonly used in the operational prediction of severe convective storms. Core algorithm is based on a highly optimized 'C++' code linked into 'R' via 'Rcpp'. Highly efficient engine allows to derive thermodynamic and kinematic parameters from large numerical datasets such as reanalyses or operational Numerical Weather Prediction models in a reasonable amount of time. Package has been developed since 2017 by research meteorologists specializing in severe thunderstorms. The most relevant methods used in the package based on the following publications Stipanuk (1973) <https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0769739.pdf>, McCann et al. (1994) <doi:10.1175/1520-0434(1994)009%3C0532:WNIFFM%3E2.0.CO;2>, Bunkers et al. (2000) <doi:10.1175/1520-0434(2000)015%3C0061:PSMUAN%3E2.0.CO;2>, Corfidi et al. (2003) <doi:10.1175/1520-0434(2003)018%3C0997:CPAMPF%3E2.0.CO;2>, Showalter (1953) <doi:10.1175/1520-0477-34.6.250>, Coffer et al. (2019) <doi:10.1175/WAF-D-19-0115.1>, Gropp and Davenport (2019) <doi:10.1175/WAF-D-17-0150.1>, Czernecki et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosres.2019.05.010>, Taszarek et al. (2020) <doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-20-0346.1>, Sherburn and Parker (2014) <doi:10.1175/WAF-D-13-00041.1>, Romanic et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.wace.2022.100474>.
