Detailed Description

Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation algorithm with elevation detrending/reprojection.

The closest n stations to each pixel are used to compute the local lapse rate, allowing to project the contributions of these n stations to the local pixel with an inverse distance weight. It therefore takes the following arguments:

NEIGHBORS: how many neighbouring stations should be used;
MAX_DISTANCE: maximum allowed distance (in meters) between the stations and grid points to interpolate to;
SCALE: this is a scaling parameter to smooth the IDW distribution. In effect, this is added to the distance in order to move into the tail of the 1/d distribution (default: 1000m);
ALPHA: this is an exponent to the 1/d distribution (default: 1);

Either NEIGHBORS or MAX_DISTANCE needs to be specified. When both are specified, both restrictions are used. In such cases, only stations less than MAX_DISTANCE away from the grid point to interpolate to are used, up to a maximum of n stations. This can lead to less than n stations to be included in the interpolation.

Note: Beware, this method sometimes produces very sharp transitions as it spatially moves from one station's area of influence to another one!
