Established methods of generating uniform grids of scalar quantities from irregularly disposed known values are applied to the development of regional maps of ionospheric characteristics for individual instants of time. Figure-of-merit comparisons are presented to show the general superiority of one particular technique. Ways of supplementing measured input values with ‘screen-point’ synthesised data are outlined.
