Abstract In this paper, we describe an implementation of the fast spherical harmonic transform (SHT) algorithm in the Yin–He global spectral model (YHGSM). A new analysis method is proposed to study the potential instability of interpolative decomposition and to evaluate the performance of fast SHT on the MilkyWay-2 supercomputer. The novel aspect of the proposed method is the use of the computational complexity analysis method by studying the properties of interpolative decompositions. Furthermore, three test cases are conducted to verify fast SHT in YHGSM. The results demonstrate that fast SHT is feasible and efficient for reducing the computational complexity and memory cost of SHT while still keeping enough accuracy.
