Subroutines/scripts that calculats several spherical operators and statistics

  1. SPHEREPACK 3.2 is a collection of FORTRAN77 programs and subroutines facilitating computer modeling of geophysical processes. The package contains subroutines for computing common differential operators including divergence, vorticity, latitudinal derivatives, gradients, the Laplacian of both scalar and vector functions, and the inverses of these operators.
  2. Applied time series course. Beside the slides, there is bulk of codes that do much of statistics.
