contains spherical harmonic coefficients.

Fields support a wide range of arithmetic operations, either involving two

Fields support a wide range of arithmetic operations, either involving
two fields of equal domains or a field and a scalar. Arithmetic operations are
performed point-wise, and the returned field has the same domain as the input field(s). Available operators are addition ("+"), subtraction ("-"),
multiplication ("*"), division ("/"), floor division ("//") and
exponentiation ("**"). Inplace operators ("+=", etc.) are not supported.
Further, boolean operators, performing a point wise comparison of a field with
either another field of equal domain or a scalar, are available as well. These
include equals ("=="), not equals ("!="), less ("<"), less or equal ("<="),
greater (">") and greater or equal (">=). The domain of the field returned equals
that of the input field(s), while the stored data is of boolean type.
Contractions (like summation, integration, minimum/maximum, computation of
statistical moments) can be carried out either over an entire field (producing
a scalar result) or over sub-domains (resulting in a field defined on a smaller
domain). Scalar products of two fields can also be computed easily.
