Hi Paul,

I don't think GeoTools can do what you want - although I'd be pleased
to be corrected by someone else here.

There is code in the unsupported modules for dealing with orthodromic
calculations etc. but as far as I know it's work in (occasional)
progress.  See the wonderfully titled "Fried Egg" page for more
info...

There is the GeodeticCalculator class but it doesn't have a method to
calculate intersection points. However, it may be a starting point if
you are prepared to do some coding.  If so, there is a nice article
(with C++ code) about geodetic calculations that includes an algorithm
for finding intersection coords on the surface of an ellipsoid.

The VisAd library may have something useful in it.  It comes with a
demo of displaying netcdf data onto a 3d globe - I've run this for fun
but haven't ever delved into the code, so I can't advise you on how
usable it is.

Otherwise google is your friend I guess.

Michael
