Gg. Panteleyev et Yb. Filyushkin, COMPARISON ANALYSIS OF VARIATIONAL METHOD AND METHOD OF OPTIMAL INTERPOLATION OCEANIC CURRENTS MEASURED DATA, Okeanologia, 35(1), 1995, pp. 21-24
Comparison was made between variational method of interpolation and me
thod of optimal interpolation based on the modeled velocity field. The
influence of background and anisotropy of measured current field on b
oth methods was studied. The evidence of variational method preference
compared with the method of optimal interpolation is given.
