Abstract: A recipe for a cubic B-spline-based solution for multivariate variational formulation of a data analysis and assimilation problem is provided. To represent a signal whose smallest wavelength is L, the spline scale must be ...

Abstract: The effects of precipitable water vapor (PWV) retrievals from the Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) on quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) skill are examined over two flood-prone regions of Southern ...

Abstract: earest-neighbor gridding, binning, and bin-averaging procedures are performed routinely to map the irregularly sampled data onto a grid for data analysis and assimilation. Because these procedures are actually an interpolation ...

Abstract: A numerical technique sensitive to both spectral and spatial aspects of sea surface wind measurements is introduced to transform the irregularly sampled satellite-based scatterometer data into regularly gridded wind fields. ...
