Rj. Renka, SSRFPACK - INTERPOLATION OF SCATTERED DATA ON THE SURFACE OF A SPHEREWITH A SURFACE UNDER TENSION, ACM transactions on mathematical software, 23(3), 1997, pp. 435-442
SSRFPACK is a Fortran 77 software package that constructs a smooth int
erpolatory or approximating surface to data values associated with arb
itrarily distributed points on the surface of a sphere. It employs aut
omatically selected tension factors to preserve shape properties of th
e data and avoid overshoot and undershoot associated with steep gradie
nts.
