COMET Module: Technique mentioned only in passing

Level: Graduate level

Journal article (Wu et al. 2002 MWR) that provides a technical description of selected aspects of the gridded statistical interpolation used in the NCEP GFS model. A version of this 3-dimensional variational approach is also used in the 2-D real time mesoscale analysis (RTMA).
