HURRECON Model for Estimating Hurricane Wind Speed, Direction and Damage

HURRECON is a simple meteorological model that estimates hurricane surface wind speed and direction based on the track, size, and intensity of a hurricane and the surface type (land or water). The model also estimates Fujita-scale wind damage as a function of peak 1/4 mile wind speed and wind gust factor. Estimates can be generated for a single site or a rectangular region. The model is based on published empirical studies of many hurricanes. HURRECON can be used to study the impacts of individual hurricanes or to reconstruct the hurricane disturbance regime for a particular region. For more information on the most recent version of the model please see the published paper (Boose, E. R., K. E. Chamberlin and D. R. Foster. 2001. Landscape and regional impacts of hurricanes in New England. Ecological Monographs 71: 27-48). Additional information is contained in the documentation that accompanies the program. For an updated version of the HURRECON model in R and Python, please see HF446.

HURRECON是一款简易气象模型，可基于飓风的路径、规模、强度以及下垫面类型（陆地或水域），估算飓风地表风速与风向。该模型还可基于1/4英里峰值风速与阵风因子，估算藤田级数（Fujita-scale）风损等级。其支持针对单个站点或矩形区域生成估算结果。该模型基于多项已发表的飓风实证研究构建。HURRECON可用于研究单场飓风的影响，或重建特定区域的飓风干扰动态格局。如需了解该模型最新版本的更多信息，请参阅已发表的研究论文：Boose E.R.、Chamberlin K.E. 与 Foster D.R.，2001年，《新英格兰飓风的景观与区域影响》，《生态学专论》71卷：27-48页。该程序附带的文档中包含更多相关细节。如需获取R语言与Python版本的HURRECON更新模型，请参阅HF446。
