User Guide for the Chesapeake Bay and Tidal Tributary Interpolator
- Published:

The Chesapeake Bay and Tidal Tributary Interpolator computes water quality concentrations throughout the Chesapeake Bay and/or tributary rivers from water quality measured at point locations. The purpose of the Interpolator is to compute water quality concentrations at all locations in the 2-dimensional plane (top or bottom depth) or throughout the 3-dimensional water volume. Results of the interpolation can then be compared over time to compute trends, or individual interpolations can be overlaid with other data to visualize possible cause and effect relationships.
