A few Australian storm tracks datasets

Description

A dataframe containing tracking data for three cyclones in Australia (Larry in 2006, George in 2007, Yasi in 2011, and Marcia in 2015). This dataframe is included for use as example storm tracks dataframes in the package documentation. This data originally came from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS): https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/

Usage

australian_tracks

A dataframe with 99 rows and 5 variables:

iso_time

A date-time value giving the time of the observation (in UTC)

lat

A numeric vector giving the storm's latitude at that observation time

lon

A numeric vector giving the storm's longitude at that observation time

usa_wind

A numeric vector giving the estimated maximum sustained wind of that storm at that observation time, in knots
