calcs

[hammad93]

There isn't a way to calculate the difference between two trajectories or intensities

[hammad93]

line 78 and 79 represent some of the calcs. we need to find a better way to compare lat and lon instead of subtracting them

https://pypi.org/project/great-circle-calculator/ is there a pure python way of doing this without http

https://github.com/keras-team/keras/blob/v2.10.0/keras/losses.py#L308 we need to edit the error somehow because the loss is just y_true - y_pred http://edwilliams.org/avform147.htm#flat

The NHC formula can be used to match existing research standards. The calculator on their website utilizes https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gccalc2.js, but it is unclear what the usage license is. The NHC credits the Great Circle Calculator (http://edwilliams.org/avform147.htm) work for their own formulae. There are available Python libraries with clear licenses that can be integrated based on the Great Circle Calculator.

An alternative can be to recreate the formulae in our own code. However, it may lead to additional delays, and we can always come back to it. In addition, the calculators will likely be valuable for custom-loss functions, and visualizations, among other use cases that still need to be fully understood but will take extra development compared to an existing library.
