The Hamiltonian particle-mesh (HPM) method is generalized to the spherical shallow water equations, utilizing constrained particle dynamics on the sphere and smoothing with Merilees' double-periodic FFT formulation of O(J2 log J) in the latitudinal gridsize. The time step for the explicit, symplectic integrator depends only on the uniform smoothing length.
