sounding_wind

Function for plotting wind speed profile. 
Can be launched as standalone function or coupled with pre-drawn Skew-T diagram.

Allow to compute and visualise convective parameters commonly
used in the operational prediction of severe convective storms. Core algorithm
is based on a highly optimized 'C++' code linked into 'R' via 'Rcpp'. Highly
efficient engine allows to derive thermodynamic and kinematic parameters from
large numerical datasets such as reanalyses or operational Numerical Weather
Prediction models in a reasonable amount of time. Package has been developed
since 2017 by research meteorologists specializing in severe thunderstorms.
