Results for Georges Bank are
better, consistent with a more stationary process and more available data.
The correlation structure clearly reflects the physical significance of
Georges Bank. While the estimate is distinctly low in the spring at this
location, this reflects data at elsewhere within the correlated region of
space and time where it is colder. The estimate will be a weighted sum which
falls between the measured values in that correlated region. This method does
not extrapolate trends, the results are therefore guaranteed to fall between
the observed values and the seasonal mean.
