The paper presents a comparative analysis of two algorithms for the spatial interpolation of meteorological fields. Both algorithms are based on a four-dimensional low-order parametric dynamic stochastic model, taking into account the vertical variation of a meteorological field. The algorithms are characterized by different representations of the forecast model in state and observation space equations for the Kalman filter. The authors studied the accuracy of the spatial interpolation of temperature and wind fields for the developed algorithms. The results of the study are presented in this paper. Numerical simulation was conducted using long-term upper-air observations obtained for a typical mesometeorological range. The results of the study demonstrate that the accuracy of interpolation for the two considered algorithms is comparable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
