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.
