    For the two-dimensional system of conservation laws \[ u_t+ f(u)_x+ g(u)y= 0 \] with prescribed initial data, third- and fourth-order weighted essentially non-oscillating (WENO) schemes using a combination of 2D linear and quadratic polynomials, respectively, are constructed. WENO schemes have been proposed in the mid 90's to improve ENO schemes by smoothing the numerical flux, better steady-state convergence and accuracy. The main part in such a scheme is the reconstruction from cell averages to point values by using polynomials. The authors describe this technique in detail and illustrate it by some examples including the Burgers equation and the Euler system of gas dynamics. Finally, numerical tests demonstrate the accuracy of the method and its improvements.
