spheresmooth.loads#

Dataset loading utilities for the spheresmooth package.

This module provides access to two example spherical datasets used in the original R package spheresmooth:

  1. APW (Apparent Polar Wander) dataset A collection of 31 Triassic/Jurassic paleomagnetic poles assembled from Kent and Irving (2010).

  2. Goni tropical cyclone dataset A trajectory dataset for Typhoon Goni (August 2015), provided by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) Tokyo Typhoon Center.

Both datasets are returned as pandas DataFrames and are packaged with the Python version of spheresmooth for demonstration and replication purposes.
