ALFPACK
ALFPACK is a free, portable library of Fortran subprograms for computing
single- and double-precision normalized associated Legendre functions of
the first kind, the PBAR(N,M,THETA) functions. This library was developed
at NCAR.
Recommendation: Use ALFPACK when computing normalized, associated
Legendre functions, unless you are also working with spherical harmonics
in your program. In this case, you can satisfy both needs by using library
SPHERE.
-
Documentation: usage documentation is available in SCD's
ALFPACK source directory,
as comment lines in the Fortran source files. Overview documentation is
available in the README file in the ALFPACK source directory.
-
Source code: you may obtain Fortran source from the ALFPACK source directory.
-
NCAR users: the ALFPACK binary library is available to NCAR computer users,
for linking with Fortran programs, on some of SCD's compute-servers. See
"SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers.
If you have questions about linking the binary library on these NCAR systems,
please see
"Linking SCD's Local Fortran Math Libraries".
