PlBar
Compute all the 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials.
Usage
p
= PlBar (lmax
, z
)
Returns
p
: float, dimension (lmax
+1)- An array of 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials up to degree
lmax
. Degreel
corresponds to array indexl
.
Parameters
lmax
: integer- The maximum degree of the Legendre polynomials to be computed.
z
: float- The argument of the Legendre polynomial.
Description
PlBar
will calculate all of the 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials up to degree lmax
for a given argument. These are calculated using a standard three-term recursion formula. The integral of the geodesy-normalized Legendre polynomials over the interval [-1, 1] is 2.
