Abstract

SSRFPACK is a Fortran 77 software package that constructs a smooth interpolatory or approximating surface to data values associated with arbitrarily distributed points on the surface of a sphere. It employs automatically selected tension factors to preserve shape properties of the data and avoid overshoot and undershoot associated with steep gradients.
