% % JSPHERE Spherical geometry and derivatives. % % These functions are in *Beta version*. Let me know if you have troubles. % % Distances % spheredist - Computes great circle distances on a sphere. % neareastpoint - Finds the nearest point to a specified point on the sphere. % inregion - Tests whether lat/lon points lie within a specified box. % lonshift - Shifts longitude origin for plotting purposes. % [-- see also JOCEANS] % % Spherical geometry % xyz2latlon - Converts 3D Cartesian coordinates into latitude and longitude. % latlon2xyz - Converts latitude and longitude into 3D Cartesian coordinates. % uvw2sphere - Converts a 3D Cartesian vector to a 3D spherical vector. % sphere2uvw - Converts a 3D spherical vector to a 3D Cartesian vector. % uvw2hor - Projects a 3D Cartesian vector into a horizontal vector on a sphere. % hor2uvw - Converts a horizontal vector on a sphere into a 3D Cartesian vector. % % Div, curl, and grad % spherediv - Divergence of a vector field on the surface of a sphere. % spheregrad - Gradient of a field on the surface of a sphere. % ________________________________________________________ % This is part of JLAB --- type 'help jlab' for more information % (C) 2007 J.M.
