BSpline C++ Template Library

This is a C++ implementation of a cubic b-spline least squares and derivative constraint algorithm.  The algorithm is based on the cubic spline described by Katsuyuki Ooyama in Montly Weather Review, Vol 115, October 1987. This implementation has benefited from comparisons with a previous FORTRAN implementation by James L. Franklin, NOAA/Hurricane Research Division.

Application

A C++ template library for computing cubic b-splines with a derivative constraint, useful for smoothing dropsonde and upsonde data. The source is available on github and compiles on Linux, Windows, and Macs.

STAR-CD

History



STAR-CD is flow modeling software from the Adapco company.  Each year we received new STAR-CD manuals and software CD's, starting with Cindy's first order (~1995?) and continuing until ~2008 when we dropped that product line because it wasn't getting much use.  In the middle of all that, we acquired FLUENT software ~2003.  FLUENT was used by me and a few other people at NCAR. We had it installed on CISL & then yellowstone, where it was accessible by NCAR and a few some grad students at UCAR-affiliated universities.  RAF paid the FLUENT license fees ~$7.5k per year, which is a huge academic discount. A couple of weeks ago, Mike Reeves asked me about renewing it. That seems unlikely, since RAF no longer has a flow modeling staff person, and recent budgets are somewhere between thin and uncertain.
