SE_Interpolation_Type
/*
 * REGISTERABLE ENUM: SE_Interpolation_Type
 *
 *   This data type allows the data provider to indicate how best to
 *   interpolate the data to points that are between grid points
 *   on an <Axis>.

typedef SE_Short_Integer SE_Interpolation_Type;
Enumerant Definition Value
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_DISALLOWED
 Interpolation is disallowed by the data provider.
1
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_NOT_SUPPLIED
 No preferred interpolation method was supplied.
2
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_METADATA_SPECIFIED
 See the metadata for the <Axis>'s <Data Table> aggregate
 to determine the data provider's preferred interpolation method.
3
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_LINEAR
 Linear interpolation (the most common default).
4
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_NEAREST_NEIGHBOUR
 Nearest neighbour.
5
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_DIAGONALIZATION
 Diagonalization; one common use is for grids representing
 terrain elevation data.
6
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_OAML_DBDB_SPLINE_FIT
 This enumerant represents a spline-fitting technique, specifically
 that used to support derived from data from the U. S. Navy's
 Oceanographic and Atmospheric Library (OAML). More specifically,
 it is used to support DBDB OAML tables.

 One common use is within OAML-derived tables representing bathymetry.
7
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_OAML_GDEM_POLYN_DEFORMATION
 Exists to support tables derived from data from the U. S. Navy's
 Oceanographic and Atmospheric Library (OAML). Specifically, this
 enumerant exists to support the Generalized Environmental Digital Model,
 known as GDEM, which is a 4-dimensional steady-state digital model
 of ocean temperature and salinity, consisting of gridded sets of
 coefficients with very specific grid spacing values.

 This interpolation method uses polynomial deformation.

 One common use of this method is within tables representing
 sound speed profiles.
8
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_BICUBIC_SPLINE 9
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_KRIGGING 10
SE_INTERPOLATION_TYP_LAGRANGIAN 11
