Returns a list with the default parameterization for interpolation. Most parameter values are set according to Thornton et al. (1997).
defaultInterpolationParams()A list with the following items (default values in brackets):
initial_Rp [= 140000]: Initial truncation radius.
iterations [= 3]: Number of station density iterations.
alpha_MinTemperature [= 3.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for minimum temperature.
alpha_MaxTemperature [= 3.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for maximum temperature.
alpha_DewTemperature [= 3.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for dew-point temperature.
alpha_PrecipitationEvent [= 5.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for precipitation events.
alpha_PrecipitationAmount [= 5.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for the regression of precipitation amounts.
alpha_Wind [= 3.0]: Gaussian shape parameter for wind.
N_MinTemperature [= 30]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for minimum temperature.
N_MaxTemperature [= 30]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for maximum temperature.
N_DewTemperature [= 30]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for dew-point temperature.
N_PrecipitationEvent [= 5]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for precipitation events.
N_PrecipitationAmount [= 20]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for the regression of precipitation amounts.
N_Wind [= 2]: Average number of stations with non-zero weights for wind.
St_Precipitation [= 5]: Number of days for the temporal smoothing of precipitation.
St_TemperatureRange [= 15]: Number of days for the temporal smoothing of temperature range.
pop_crit [= 0.50]: Critical precipitation occurrence parameter.
f_max [= 0.6]: Maximum value for precipitation regression extrapolations (0.6 equals to a maximum of 4 times extrapolation).
wind_height [= 10]: Wind measurement height (in m).
