Details
get_storm_data is a wrapper function to make it more
convenient to access the various storm products.
Types of products:
- discus
Storm Discussions. This is technical information on the cyclone such as satellite presentation, forecast model evaluation, etc.
- fstadv
Forecast/Advisory. These products contain the meat of an advisory package. Current storm information is available as well as structural design and forecast data.
- posest
Position Estimate. Issued generally when a storm is threatening; provides a brief update on location and winds.
- public
Public Advisory. Issued for public knowledge; more often for Atlantic than East Pacific storms. Contains general information.
- prblty
Strike Probability. Discontinued after the 2005 hurricane season, strike probabilities list the chances of x-force winds in a particular city.
- update
Cyclone Update. Generally issued when a significant change occurs in the cyclone.
- windprb
Wind Probability. Replace strike probabilities beginning in the 2006 season. Nearly identical.
Progress bars are displayed by default. These can be turned off by setting the dplyr.show_progress to FALSE. Additionally, you can display messages for each advisory being worked by setting the rrricanes.working_msg to TRUE.
