TCHazaRdsWindFields {TCHazaRds}

Compute the Wind and Pressure Spatial Hazards Field Associated with TC track.

Description

Compute the Wind and Pressure Spatial Hazards Field Associated with TC track.

Usage

TCHazaRdsWindFields(
  outdate = NULL,
  GEO_land,
  TC,
  paramsTable,
  outfile = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

outdate

array of POSITx date times to linearly interpolate TC track

GEO_land

SpatVector or dataframe hazard geometry generated with land_geometry

TC

SpatVector of Tropical cyclone track parameters for a single time step

paramsTable

Global parameters to compute TC Hazards

outfile

character. Output netcdf filename

overwrite

TRUE/FALSE, option to overwrite outfile

Value

SpatRasterDataset with the following attributes.

abbreviated attribute	description	units
P	Atmospheric pressure	hPa
Uw	Meridional wind speed	m/s
Vw	Zonal wind speed	m/s
Sw	Wind speed	m/s
Dw	The direction from which wind originates	deg clockwise from true north
