rhomb_trunC

Performs rhomboidal truncation on spherical harmonic coefficients.

Prototype

	function rhomb_trunC (
		ab  : numeric,  
		T   : integer   
	)

	return_val [dimsizes(ab)] :  float or double

Arguments

Spherical harmonic coefficients returned to user by the NCL functions shagC/shaeC. The first dimension must be 2, which addresses the real and imaginary parts.

Rhomboidal truncation parameter. T is the constant number of total wave numbers to keep.

Return value

A double array is returned if the input is double; otherwise a float array is returned. The returned array will be of size dimsizes(ab).

Description

rhomb_trunC performs rhomboidal truncation on coefficients returned by the Spherepack analysis routines shagC or shaeC.

rhomb_trunC is the function version of rhomb_trunc.

Examples

Example 1

g(nlat,nlon)

  T  = 15
  ab = shagC (g)
  ab = rhomb_trunC (ab,T)
  g  = shsgC (ab,nlon)
