SHCrossPowerSpectrumDensity

Compute the cross-power spectral density of two real functions.

Usage

cspectrum = pyshtools.SHCrossPowerSpectrumDensity (cilm1, cilm2, [lmax])

Returns

cspectrum : float, dimension (lmax+1)
The cross-power spectral density of the two functions.

Parameters

cilm1 : float, dimension (2, lmaxin1+1, lmaxin1+1)
The first function expressed in real spherical harmonics.
cilm2 : float, dimension (2, lmaxin2+1, lmaxin2+1)
The second function expressed in real spherical harmonics.
lmax : optional, integer, default = min(lmaxin1, lmaxin2)
The maximum spherical harmonic degree to calculate the cross-power spectral density. This must be less than or equal to the minimum of lmaxin1 and lmaxin2.

Description

SHCrossPowerSpectrumDensity will calculate the cross-power spectral density of two functions expressed in real spherical harmonics. For a given spherical harmonic degree l, this is explicitly calculated as:

cspectrum(l) = Sum_{i=0}^1 Sum_{m=0}^l cilm1[i, l, m] * cilm2[i, l, m] / (2l + 1).
