SINHA, S. K.; MAHAKUR, M.  and  MAHAJAN, P.N.. Meteorological objective analysis using multiquadric interpolation scheme over India and adjoining region. Atmósfera [online]. 2002, vol.15, n.4, pp.209-222. ISSN 0187-6236.

This paper is concerned with the development of the multiquadric interpolation scheme to produce gridded fields of meteorological variables. The results of the application of this method to real data is compared with analysis from Gandhi's Optimum Interpolation scheme. Like the optimum interpolation scheme, which uses covariance functions as the basis functions, the multiquadric scheme uses hyperboloid radial basis function to fit the scattered data to a uniform grid. This scheme produces superior analysis compared to optimum interpolation analysis.

Keywords : Multiquadric interpolation; optimum interpolation; hyperboloid basis function.
