The wind model code assumes that the tracking data that you input are in knots, at 10 m above the surface level, and measured using a 1-minute averaging period. We...

We can add a function for this, but IBTrACS has "USA Wind" for all basins, so for historical, we can assume that tracking data includes winds with the US averaging...

For the case of counties, it would also be interesting to write a function that can merge with the county polygons, so that we can make chloropleth maps. This would...

I would love to help with this. Also, I have some students working with @sckott's `rnoaa` for projects. We _love_ the package, and I would love to help by working...

+1 As a small side part of this, it would be useful to develop a standard for how to cite grant support in package metadata. Then a project officer could...

@jordan27r : do you think that you could add the option in `map_wind` to allow it to be shown in miles per hour?

Here's the pdf vignette where we've got the code for that example: [Details of stormwindmodel package (1).pdf](https://github.com/geanders/stormwindmodel/files/8199229/Details.of.stormwindmodel.package.1.pdf)

Here's some more on making vector fields in R with ggplot: https://r-graphics.org/recipe-miscgraph-vectorfield

For mapping, we'll want to use simple features (with the `sf` package---it lets us do the mapping in a ggplot framework). Here's some on how to do that: https://geanders.github.io/RProgrammingForResearch/reporting-results-2.html#simple-features
