## Details:

The height levels as a mean across all tropical cyclone time steps analyzed is stored in
"/composites/df_model_level_heights.csv".

The "TC_collection_ccn7.pkl" contains a dictionary organizing all simulated TCs. 
The dictionary includes all TC tracking tables providing storm center locations, intensities and other measures along the track for each TC time step. Together with the HURDAT data, the script "calc_Boxplotstats_und_WPrelation-model_nd_HURDAT.py" can be used to calculate storm statistics of simulated and observed tropical cyclones. This script and other plotting scribts can be found in the software linked to this dataset.
