tcevent module

tcevent – run the windfield module for a single TC track

Run the wind.windmodels module to calculate the wind field for a single TC event. The track of the TC is interpolated to a fine temporal resolution, then the maximum wind field evaluated.

Data at selected points within the model domain can be extracted at each time step, giving a time history of wind speed, direction and estimated sea level pressure for the location(s).

See the Scenario modelling section of the TCRM User Guide for details on running this script.
