# Summary

`StormR` is an R package allowing to easily extract storm track data from a
provided database, generate surface wind fields (speed and direction) as
re-constructed from storm track data and a parametric cyclone model. Then
`StormR` allows computing three summary statistics (the maximum sustained wind

`StormR` allows us to compute three summary statistics (the maximum sustained wind

a given wing speed along the cyclone life span) and plotting the results. We

To our knowledge two R packages are available on R CRAN: `HurreconR` [@Boose_HurreconR_2023] and

As highlighted by their names, these two packages have a strong focus on the
North American basin where tropical cyclones are named hurricanes. Another
important limitation of those packages is that they both rely on a single model
