Statistical Interpolation of Tidal Datums and Computation of Its Associated Spatially Varying Uncertainty

Statistical Interpolation of Tidal Datums and Computation of Its Associated Spatially Varying Uncertainty

Tidal datums are key components in NOAA’s Vertical Datum transformation project (VDatum). In this paper, we propose a statistical interpolation method, derived from the variational principle, to calculate tidal datums by blending the modeled and the observed tidal datums. Through the implementation...
