TAO Gridding
A variety of gridding methods are used to create the 2-D fields available in the TAO/TRITON Display Page. Below you will find a detailed explanation of the gridding methods used for each type of 2-D field. To see a full size example plot, just click the image you are interested in below. To see the description of the gridding methods, click the link below the image.

Some of the gridding methods use climatological averages in the gridding process. For plots and background info on these climatologies, see the TAO Climatology page.

These gridded fields have been created as "quick look" fields for visual display. Users of these fields are cautioned that they may not be optimally constructed for detailed quantitative analyses. We encourage users of TAO/TRITON data to do their own gridding for any serious scientific computations.
