Modified multiquadric methods for scattered data interpolation over a sphere

From MaRDI portal





The aim of this paper is to present the problem of constructing a smooth function defined over the sphere which interpolates the given data. Several methods which are appropriate modifications of \textit{R. L. Hardy}'s planar multiquadric method [Multiquadric equations of topography and other irregular surfaces.J. Geophys. Res. 76, 1905-1915 (1971)] are presented, compared and discussed: the restriction of trivariate multiquadric interpolation to the sphere, spherical multiquadric interpolation due to \textit{R. L. Hardy} and \textit{W. M. Goepfert} [Least squares prediction of gravity anomalies, gesidal undulations, and deflections of the vertical with multiquadric harmonic functions. Geophys. Res. Lett. 2, 423-426 (1975)] and a scheme called: `elliptic multiquadric interpolation'.
