A configurable spherical geodesic grid data model designed for simulations.
GEOF Planet offers an ideal data model for simulations of 2½D spherical phenomena like oceanography and climate. It is ported from the JavaScript project "Peels".
-
GEOF Planet is largely based on the Spherical Geodesic Grids technique described by Todd D. Ringler, Ross P. Heikes, and David A. Randall at the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University.
