AB: This is a poster presentation of a "website under construction" that will provide free-ware access to spatial analysis modules for Kalman Filtering, Kriging, Neural Networks, Splines, Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis, and Spatial Objective Analysis. The website is being designed to aid scientists, educators and students with the analysis of data which is generally sparse and irregularly spaced, for which the geographic locations of the observing points are essential inputs to the analyses. Sections for each of the state-of-the-art methodologies will include: 1) Discussion of the objectives for which it was originally developed; 2) Examples of applications to large data sets; 3) Mathematical foundations; 4) References to relevant scientific and mathematical literature; 5) E-links to software for data analysis, with explanations for its use; 6) E-links to data sets for exercise of the technology. Modular construction will permit use of any of the above technologies, independent of others. This "workshop presentation" invites creative input that can contribute to the utility of the final product, from all viewers/potential users.
