In geanders/hurricaneexposuredata: Data Characterizing Exposure to Hurricanes in United States Counties

hurricaneexposuredata 0.1.0

• Add storms for 2016, 2017, and 2018. For these, we have storm tracks, storm winds, and flood and tornado events. These do not include storm rains, but we hope to add rainfall for these storms in the future.
• Add a dataset (excluded_tracks) with the storm tracks that were excluded from the main dataset. We only run the full wind model and generate other data for storms that came within 250 km of at least one US county center. In this version we included the tracking data for the storms that were excluded based on this restriction (in other words, storms that never came within 250 km of a county center in the continental US).
• Change interpolation methods for storm track interpolation, based on updates to the stormwindmodel package. Maximum wind is now interpolated using linear splines (with the base R function 'approx'). Latitude and longitude are still interpolated using natural cubic splines, but now using the R function 'spline' or a bespoke natural cubic spline interpolation function in the 'stormwindmodel' package. Finally, we have changed the interpolation method for the wind radii values. Previously, we used a cubic spline for this, as well. We now use a linear spline interpolation for the wind radii values.

hurricaneexposuredata 0.0.2

• Finalized lists of authors, contributors, and funding support.
• Finalized documentation for current data.
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
