Barnes-Cressman Analysis

Barnes-Cressman analysis is an objective interpolation method that creates gridded meteorological fields from irregularly spaced observations (station data, radiosonde profiles, buoys). It is widely used for synoptic analysis, quality control, and initialization of numerical weather models.
