Dear all

I have a data set in the form of a list: { {Theta1,Phi1,f1},{Theta2,Phi2,f2}, ... } which i would like to present as a density/Contour plot on the surface of a sphere

i read past posts and tried using 

SphericalPlot3D[1, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi}, 
 ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Hue[f[t, p]]], 
 Mesh -> 10, MeshFunctions -> {Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, f[t, p]]}]

but can't seem to get it right...

thanks in advance for your help
