In bczernecki/thundeR: Computation and Visualisation of Atmospheric Convective Parameters

thundeR 1.1.5

• Fixes for SRH-related calculations that were not working properly in thundeR 1.1.4
• Added tests to check whether calculations of indices matches expected results
• Removed dependency to the RadioSonde package due to "heavy"" OS-related dependencies on some Linux distributions
• Minor bug fixes

thundeR 1.1.4

• Fixing minor bugs in C++ code that caused the package to show warnings uninitialized variable with GCC 14.2 on Windows
• Adding RadioSonde package as dependency
• Minor bug fixes and changes in CI/CD pipeline

thundeR 1.1.3

• Adding new tests for thermodynamic indices failing with metPy 1.5, but working smoothly with thundeR and sharppy

thundeR 1.1.2

• Allowing to keep NA values in get_sounding() which might be not harmful if missing data occur on higher altitudes for dew point temperatures

thundeR 1.1.1

• Improvements in C++ algorithm responsible for more accurate computations of parcel trajectories and related thermodynamic indices
• Minor bug fixes in CIN calculation procedure
• Minor bug fixes in mixed-layer calculation procedure
• Minor bug fixes in DCAPE calculation procedure
• Fixing code leaks in C++ module
• New parameters added. Currently the list of computed parameters contains over 200 indices
• Documentation and pkgdown site updates
• Removing dependency to the climate package by including internal functions responsible for downloading soundings from Wyoming database
• Improving graphical layout:
• Adding parcel trajectories shading for positive area
• shading SRH area for left- and right movers on sounding hodographs
• Implementation of different interpolating mechanisms to sounding_compute()
• UX improvements and interactive editing of rawinsonde data browsed in shiny app (http://rawinsonde.com)

thundeR 0.3.0

• Fixing code leaks in C++ module (big thanks to Jakub Nowosad!)
• Adding new convective parameters
• Adding set of parameters for interpolation accuracy that allow to control computation performance
• Further improvements in graphical layout for sounding_plot(), skewt_plot() and sounding_hodograph

thundeR 0.0.12

• First public release on CRAN
