Tesseroids: Forward modeling of gravitational fields in spherical coordinates

<em>Tesseroids</em> is an open-source software collection for the forward modeling of gravitational fields in spherical coordinates. It can model the gravitational potential, 3-component acceleration, and 6-component gradient tensor. Earth models can be described in terms of tesseroids (spherical prisms) or Cartesian right rectangular prisms. See the website link bellow for more <strong>information</strong> and the <strong>latest release</strong>. The file <em>tesseroid-*-src.zip</em> is an archive of the <strong>source code</strong> for the purposes of preservation and citation. The .zip file contains: * C language source code * Metadata files * The PDF user manual * Unit-test code * A SConstruct file for managing the build The archives <em>tesseroids-*-bin32.tar.gz</em> and <em>tesseroids-*-bin64.tar.gz</em> are <strong>compiled binaries</strong> for GNU/Linux and<em> tesseroids-*-win32.zip</em> for Microsoft Windows. They also containg the PDF Manual and metadata files. The software were compiled in all systems using gcc 4.7.2. See the SConstruct file in the source code archive for compile options.
