Unofficial Current Year/Season HURDAT2 Data Output

I've been working on sprucing up my HURDAT2 Parser program (python) a lot lately. Though the new version is unreleased, one method I've been working on is ranking of partial seasons; allowing a specific date to be set, so you could see the most impressive seasons up to a arbitrary point (a month/day). This would also allow ranking of partial data.

Script Release ::: hurdat2parser

hurdat2parser intakes, interprets, and outputs results based from the HURDAT2 file. HURDAT2 is a database of all tracked storm systems in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1851 to last year. Amongst kept data for each storm are winds at the center of circulation, mean sea-level pressure, and latitude and longitude coordinates of the center of the storm.

Script Release ::: Climate Parser

Climate Parser is a Python script which allows one to run quick analyses on US-city-specific climate data.

Geometry Corner :: Octagon Measurements

So recently in making some levels for a game (for fun), I encountered the need to create octagonal shapes. I started thinking about the regular octagon. So here I'll go over some requirements for one and a way to breakdown its make-up, the subsequent creation of related formulas, and measurements.

Skew-T / Log-P Diagram ::: The Paper Calculator (Part 3/3) ::: Inferences and Signals

In this segment, I'll briefly go over some information about inferences and signals forecasters look for while analyzing a sounding. This post is rather in-depth, so I'd recommend taking it in one section of a time. Please feel free to follow along (previous post has a link to a skew-t).

Skew-T / Log-P Diagram ::: The Paper Calculator (Part 2/3) ::: Basic Calculations

In this post, I'll highlight some simple uses of the Skew-T; ones that only need basic data. So you can practice with different values. Feel free to follow along using a blank skew-t. This one was my favorite to use during my education. You can print it out or open it up in a Paint program to work with if you want.
