storm_assess is a older python package for working with cyclone track data.

Introduction

storm_assess is a Python module to read ascii-format output from the TRACK and TempestExtremes cyclone-tracking algorithms, originally developed by Joanne Camp (Met Office & Bureau of Meteorology). This package has been used in recent publications, but the far more capable HuracanPy is now recommended.

The package is available at alexanderjbaker/storm_assess and on JASMIN at: /gws/nopw/j04/huracan/tools/python/storm_assess/. A version of storm_assess, developed by Malcolm Roberts (Met Office), was developed for reading NetCDF-format track output data (from HighResMIP), which is available here.
