In mapmaking, a quadrilaterlized spherical cube, or quad sphere for short, is an equal-area mapping and binning scheme for data collected on a spherical surface (either Earth data or the celestial sphere). It was first proposed by Chan and O'Neill in 1975 for the Naval Environmental Prediction Research Facility.
