Improving the atcf class to handle a-deck (forecast advisories) as well as b-deck (best track).

  • Typically used to extract "OFCL" record_type (official NHC advisory) in a-deck, but can request others such as "HWRF" and "HMON" if desired (requested_record_type optional input)
  • a-deck should be accompanied by start_date to determine which advisory to get (which initialization time)
  • test for Florence getting both a- and b- "file_deck" types, and various record types for the a-deck.
  • changing from BestTrackForcing and BestTrack usage to VortexForcing. Open to suggestions for better wording here.

- Changing BestTrack/besttrack to Vortex/vortex for more general terminology
- Setting allowable record_types to either 'BEST' or 'OFCL' (could be extended in future)
- 'OFCL' corresponds to official NHC advisory. In these cases the actual datetime needs to be computed as the base datetime plus the validation time (while 'BEST' base datetimes in the column are correct)
- When getting historical a-deck many different advisories are present in the one file. Use start_date to filter the one that you want where start_date == initialization time (the base datetime in the column)
- Currently a few record_types are allowed for a-deck based on those that have enough columns to include e.g., the background pressure column, e.g., HWRF, HMON, OFCL
- Note only 'BEST' is allowed for b-deck
