Approximation, interpolation and quadrature are questions of fundamentalimportance for atmospheric and oceanic problems at planetary scale.Computation with spherical harmonics on the sphere is an old mathematical topic; it has a particular interest in geosciences, and is still an active field of research. In this poster, we will show numerical comparisons of several approximation schemes, with a special focus on the Cubed Sphere grid. We test hyperinterpolation, weighted least squares, and interpolation on a series of test functions with various smoothness properties. Our last results include the derivation of explicit formulas for optimal quadrature rules on low resolution Cubed Spheres. 1 J.-B. Bellet, M. Brachet, and J.-P.
