Assignment Overview Dictionaries Lists and Tuples Assignment Background Hurricane season is back and it came with a vengeance. Over five hurricanes have passed so far and two of them have done massive damage to the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico. In order to prepare countermeasures against the destruction these atmospheric phenomena leave on their way, it is imperative to gather information about their wind speeds and trajectory for the creation of better predictive models. The National Hurricane Center is responsible to record these disasters and create these predictive models (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/). For this project, you are tasked to create a program that stores a record of all the hurricanes that occurred within a range of years into a dictionary of dictionaries. Using this dictionary, it is required to extract all the hurricanes that occurred in a year and print the peak wind speed of each hurricane with their coordinates and dates, plot the trajectory of each hurricane, and plot a line chart with the peak wind speeds and show the category each hurricane reached. Project Specifications 1. You must implement the following functions a) open file) prompts the user to enter a filename containing the hurricane data. The program will try to open a file. An error message should be shown if the file cannot be opened. This function will loop until it receives proper input and successfully opens the file. It returns a file pointer b) update dictionary (dictionary, year, hurricane name, data) receives the dictionary, the year, the name of the hurricane, and the tuple (data) with the coordinates, date, wind speed, and pressure. The updated dictionary is returned. In this project we use a dictionary with year as the key and whose value is another dictionary. The nested dictionary will have the name of the hurricane as its key and a list of tuples as the value.
