generate grids on sphere

Description

generate grids on sphere

Usage

sphere.grid(N = 2, lower = TRUE, ico = TRUE)

Arguments

N

number of refinenemts

lower

return also the lower hemishpere?

ico

use triangulation based on icosahedron (req. rgl)? N is then takes as refinement steps, should be <5!

#' Two ways:

A) a decreasing radius ring of N points from equator to pole with alternating 2pi/N shift. Concentrates on the poles, useful for statitical estimation if the pole area is where things happen.

B) Triangulation by refining an icosahedron.

Returns latitude-longitude matrix. use ll2xyz or ll2ai for transformation.
