Abstract: | High-quality contour maps can be computer drawn from single track echo-sounding data by combining Universal Kriging and the
theory of intrinsic random function of order K (IRFK). These methods interpolate values among the closely spaced points that
lie along relatively widely spaced lines. The technique provides a variance which can be contoured as a quantitative measure
of map precision. The technique can be used to evaluate alternative survey trackline configurations and data collection intervals,
and can be applied to other types of oceanographic data. |
