Abstract:The contour map is, by far, the most common display mode for geophysical and geological data. With the increasing use of computers in geophysical data analysis, the demand for computer contoured maps is rapidly growing. Computer contouring has been available on a fairly routine basis for about ten years (see, for example, Dayhoff, 1963), but in spite of this, much programming effort (and money) is still being devoted to the research and development of new contouring programs. The main reason for this continuin… Show more
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.
