HeatStressR: Calculate Heat Stress Indices

Calculates heat-stress indices from meteorological observations, including the physically based wet-bulb globe temperature model described by Liljegren et al. (2008) <doi:10.1080/15459620802310770>. The package provides an independently maintained R implementation with row-level diagnostics, configurable physical controls, and batch processing for the Liljegren method; it is not a bitwise-compatible port of the original program, and cross-implementation differences are expected.
