Abstract: A formula is first given for the error in a 2-harmonic seasonal curve of best fit through a set of N oceanographic data points, assuming the departures from the true mean are independent random numbers. Departures of actual ...

Abstract: Steric heights have been estimated using T?S relationships for all available XBTs within 10?40°S, 105?130°E to 1980, and merged with steric heights from hydrology data. These data were subdivided into bins following the ...

Abstract: A new four-dimensional ocean interpolation system based on locally weighted least squares fitting is presented. A loess filter is used to interpolate irregularly spaced data onto a uniform grid. This involves projecting ...
