Often map file algorithm choices dont have much of an impact on the solution, but occasionally they do.
- Here is a great example showing the noise that can be generated when an aave map is used for coarse-to-fine mapping of a non-flux variables: /wiki/spaces/ECG/pages/2350776353
- Another example showing blockyness from conservative maps when upsampling: /wiki/spaces/NGDNA/pages/3530194969
- When downsampling, interpolation based maps (like bilinear) can produce aliasing effects as compared to area averaged maps: Downscaling algorithm comparison
All mapping files should be tested as described in the "Testing and Validating Mapping Files" section below. This testing is necessary, but not sufficient to ensure good results.
