Abstract
An illustrative method of estimating a temperature for at least one of a plurality of sites based on temperature information from at least one of a plurality of temperature measurement stations includes several steps. The sites are clustered into a plurality of clusters. Respective centroids for the clusters are determined. The centroids are associated with respective measurement stations. One of a preselected plurality of estimating techniques is respectively assigned to the measurement stations. The assigned estimating technique provides a temperature estimate at the measurement station that is more accurate than others of the preselected plurality of estimating techniques. A temperature at the at least one of the plurality of sites is estimated using the estimating technique assigned to the measurement station associated with the centroid of the cluster that includes the site of interest.
