The atm package provides R functions for dealing with atmospheric
properties. It is very preliminary, and function names and actions may change
a lot at any moment.
Please note that this package is designed to work with files provided via the GUI at a University of Wyoming server (Reference 1) and key functions will fail if that server changes its URL structure or the format of the files it provides.
For more on how to read skew-T diagrams, see for example References 2 and 3.
