Once wind speed is generated for each cell and each time step, `StormR`
functions can compute summary statistics on wind speed over the lifespan
of a storm. Summary statistics encompass the maximum sustained wind speed,
the power dissipation index or total power dissipated by a tropical storm

to winds reaching defined speed thresholds. By default the duration of exposure
is computed for each Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale threshold values for
