PlBar

Compute all the 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials.

Usage

call PlBar (p, lmax, z )

Parameters

p : output, real/*8, dimension (lmax+1)
An array of geodesy-normalized Legendre polynomials up to degree lmax. Degree l corresponds to array index l+1.
lmax : input, integer
The maximum degree of the Legendre polynomials to be computed.
z : input, real/*8
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.
