Radial basis function (
RBF
) approximations have been used for some time to interpolate data on a sphere (as well as on many other types of domains). Their ability to solve, to spectral accuracy, convection-type PDEs over a sphere has been demonstrated only very recently. In such applications, there are two main choices that have to be made: (i) which type of radial function to use, and (ii) what value to choose for their shape parameter (denoted by

). The results are analyzed with a
method
ology that has similarities to the customary Fourier analysis in equispaced 1-D periodic settings. In particular, we find that high accuracy can be maintained also over very long time integrations. We furthermore gain insights into why RBFs sometimes offer higher accuracy than spherical harmonics (since the latter arise as an often non-optimal special case of the former). Anticipated future application areas for RBF-based
method
s in spherical geometries include weather and climate modeling.
