Calculate equation 2 from Willoughby

Description

Calculate equation 2 from Willoughby

Usage

will2(r, R1, R2)

Arguments

r	A numeric value giving the distance from the center of the storm to the location where you would like to model the local wind, in kilometers
R1	A numeric value with the lower boundary of the transition zone (in km from the storm center)
R2	A numeric value with the upper boundary of the transition zone (in km from the storm center)

Value

A numeric value between 0 and 1 that gives the amount to weight Vi versus Vo when estimating wind within the transition zone.
