3 techniques:
Geostrophic relocation
Use estimate of velocity field to relocate observations
to common time.
Iterative procedure.
Interpolation
Interpolate between two or more spatial surveys to
create spatial coverage at a given time.
Spatio-temporal correlation method
As the 2nd technique but weighted according time
between observation and required common time.
