New paper in JOSS on the python package @stella-bourdin.bsky.social and I have developed, HuracanPy. For working with cyclone track data. Reads tracks from various data sources and has lots of useful functions too. Built on xarray and Stella's PhD work.

🌀Ex-hurricanes advent calendar 📆

🧵: background and links to the 📆.
