🌀 KnackBot: Tropical Cyclones Discord Bot

KnackBot is a dedicated Discord Bot designed to provide comprehensive, real-time data and specialized meteorological tools for tracking Tropical Cyclones (TCs). Most functionalities are accessed instantly using slash commands (/).

⚡ Key Tracking & Environmental Commands

KnackBot allows users to monitor current cyclone activity and analyze critical environmental factors influencing storm development. Below are some of the key commands used by our bot:

/atcf | Current TC Activity | Tracks and displays the latest details for all active tropical cyclones using data from our "failproof" ATCF (Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting) System.
/subscribe atcf | Real-time Subscriptions | Allows users to subscribe a channel to receive immediate notifications from our ATCF.
/sst | Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) | Provides real-time data on SSTs, from NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW).
/ssta | SST Anomalies | Displays SST Anomalies, from NOAA CRW.
/cimss | TC Intensity Analysis From CIMSS | Tropical cyclone intensities, from advanced satellite-derived techniques developed by the CIMSS (Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies).
...and more...

🛠️ Specialized Calculation Tools

The bot includes a suite of specialized equations and calculation tools used for analysis:

Courtney-Knaff-Zehr (CKZ)
Schloemer
Altitude Adjust Jordan
Atkinson-Holliday 1977
Scatterometer
Salinity equations
...and more...
