A unified approach to the Clenshaw summation and the recursive computation of very high degree and order normalised associated Legendre functions

Spherical harmonic expansions form partial sums of fully normalised associated Legendre functions (ALFs). However, when evaluated increasingly close to the poles, the ultra-high degree and order (e.g. 2700) ALFs range over thousands of orders of magnitude. This causes existing recursion techniques f...
