Verde: Processing and gridding spatial data using Green's functions

Measurements made on the surface of the Earth are often sparse and unevenly distributed. For example, GPS displacement measurements are limited by the availability of ground stations and airborne geophysical measurements are highly sampled along flight lines but there is often a large gap between lines. Many data processing methods require data distributed on a uniform regular grid, particularly methods involving the Fourier transform or the computation of directional derivatives. Hence, the interpolation of sparse measurements onto a regular grid (known as gridding) is a prominent problem in the Earth Sciences.
