  3. Barnes interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_interpolation

    Barnes proposed an objective scheme for the interpolation of two dimensional data using a multi-pass scheme. [3] [4] This provided a method to interpolating sea-level pressures across the entire United States of America, producing a synoptic chart across the country using dispersed monitoring stations. Researchers have subsequently improved the ...

    Then "objective analysis" (e.g. Cressman algorithm) was introduced for automated data assimilation. These objective methods used simple interpolation approaches, and thus [why?] were 3DDA (three-dimensional data assimilation) methods. Later, 4DDA (four-dimensional data assimilation) methods, called "nudging", were developed, such as in the MM5 ...
