calc_grid_wind: Calculate wind speed at grid points

In stormwindmodel: Model Tropical Cyclone Wind Speeds

Description

Uses the Willoughby wind model (Willoughby et al. 2006) to calculate wind speed at a grid point location. This function calculates a wind time series at just one location.

Usage

calc_grid_wind(
  grid_point = stormwindmodel::county_points[1, ],
  with_wind_radii = add_wind_radii()
)

Arguments

grid_point	A one-row dataframe with the grid id, latitude, and longitude for a single location for which you want to model winds.
with_wind_radii	A dataframe of storm tracks, including inputs and parameters for the Willoughby wind model, as created by add_wind_radii.

Value

A dataframe with date (date) and modeled wind speed (windspeed, in m / s) at the grid point location for all storm observations.
