    1. Split the top and conical surfaces.

    2. Add an appropriate sketch/profile face.



    3. Create loft using the 2 faces and the profile/face sketch.

    It might even work just using a revolve. Once the face is split in half, revolve one of the faces around the split line.

    Might work in some situations,  but if the intent is to have better control over how the dome transitions into the sides, a loft feature is a better method.

    Fill surface could be a good candidate too. Here's a link. The curvature looks ok too, but if I wanted it better, I'd need my profile shape to also be curvature continuous, not arcs and lines.
