shctor(1)

SHctor
Convert complex spherical harmonics to real form.

Usage
call SHctor (ccilm, rcilm, degmax, convention, switchcs, exitstatus)

Parameters

ccilm : input, real(dp), dimension (2, lmaxin+1, lmaxin+1)
    The input complex spherical harmonic coefficients. ccilm(1,:,:) and ccilm(2,:,:) correspond to the real and complex part of the coefficients, respectively. Only the positive angular orders are input; the negative orders are assumed to satisfy the relation C_{l-m}=(-1)^m C_{lm}^*.

rcilm : output, real(dp), dimension (2, lmaxout+1, lmaxout+1)
    The output real spherical harmonic coefficients. rcilm(1,:,:) and rcilm(2,:,:) correspond to the cosine and sine terms, respectively.

degmax : input, optional, integer(int32), default = min(lmaxin, lmaxout)
    The maximum degree of the output coefficients.

convention : input, optional, integer(int32), default = 1
    If 1 (default), the input and output coefficients will have the same normalization. If 2, orthonormalized coefficients will be converted to real geodesy 4-pi form.

swtichcs : input, optional, integer(int32), default = 0
    If 0 (default), the input and output coefficients will possess the same Condon-Shortley phase convention. If 1, the input coefficients will first be multiplied by (-1)^m.

exitstatus : output, optional, integer(int32)
    If present, instead of executing a STOP when an error is encountered, the variable exitstatus will be returned describing the error. 0 = No errors; 1 = Improper dimensions of input array; 2 = Improper bounds for input variable; 3 = Error allocating memory; 4 = File IO error.

Description
SHctor will convert complex spherical harmonics of a real function to real form. By default, the dimension of the output array is the minimum of rcilm(1,:,:) and ccilm(1,:,:), though this can be changed by specifying the optional parameter degmax. The normalization of the input and output coefficients are by default the same, but if the optional argument convention is set to 2, this routine will convert from geodesy 4-pi normalized coefficients to orthonormalized coefficients. The Condon-Shortley phase convention between the input an output coefficients can be modified by the optional argument switchcs.
