Description: 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.
