Description: 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.
