Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) algorithm in spherical coordinate
The Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) algorithm is a curve simplification method. To apply it on coordinates defined by latitudes/longitudes, we need to replace the Cartesian geometry with a spherical one.
Use git to sync dotfiles
It is a common practice to use `git` to back-up and sync ones "dotfiles". I also create Python script to help automate this process.

2D convolution with missing data
The convolution functions in `scipy` do not work well with missing data. We create a 2D convolution function that allows a controllable tolerance to missing values. It is first implemented in Fortran, then using `scipy` in an FFT approach.
Peak prominence
Peak prominence can be used to identify relatively organized regional maxima while filtering out local disturbances.
