A framework for estimating spherical vector fields using localized basis functions and its application to SuperDARN data processing

Abstract A technique for estimating a plasma drift velocity distribution in the ionosphere is presented. This technique is based on a framework for representing a global vector field on a sphere by using a set of localized basis functions which is newly derived as a variant of the spherical elementa...
