spheroidal

For a simple example, the surface of the Earth is approximately an oblate spheroidal surface, not even a 2-sphere.

The knowledge that the Earth is spheroidal has been known for many hundreds of years.

A possible solution is that disc galaxies have a dominant pressure-supported spheroidal halo, even though such a halo is not observed [19].

Instead, they form a single, shared, physical electron shell (a prolate spheroidal orbitsphere) that encompasses all three nuclei.

Really good performance-engineered spheroidal implementations are much faster than people assume based on the performance of open source implementations.

Examples: 1) The earth is roughly spheroidal.

An additional issue is that the spheroidal implementations have undergone very little optimization, perhaps because they are not the defaults.

Now you have people that believe spheroidal implementations are terribly slow, when in reality they just used a pathologically slow implementation.

Ultimately there are also some domains where you got data that you explicitly don't want to interpret using spheroidal semantics, e.g.

It is a synthetic spheroidal model that is not fixed to any point on Earth.

The majority of spheroidal graphite for batteries is synthetically produced because it has better performance.

This has long been suspected due to the spheroidal indentations in the lunar surface.

It's true because "The knowledge that the Earth is spheroidal has been known for many hundreds of years.

If you give them a fully spheroidal WGS84 implementation for geospatial analytics, it mostly “just works” for them anywhere on the globe and without regard for geospatial extent.
