By: by Richard Franke [and] William J. Gordon
Contributors: Gordon, William J.; Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.)
Publisher: Naval Postgraduate School
Published: 1983
Place of publication: Monterey, California
Language: eng
Number of pages: 23
Subjects: Approximation theory; Kriging; Interpolation
Description: The form of the approximating function obtained by optimum interpolation of meteorological data and related schemes in other disciplines is explored. A variant of Cressman's successive approximation method is shown to be convergent to the same function given by optimum interpolation.
