Abstract
A collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBF) is introduced for wind field adjustment in meteorology. The numerical solutions are shown to be more accurate than those obtained with the finite element method (FEM), and they also require much less computational effort. A detailed analysis shows how inconsistent boundary conditions may affect numerical solutions.
