What are the limits of efficiency for the application of bi-cubic splines in a regional weather prediction grid point model?

Single (one-dimensional) and bi-cubic (two-dimensional) splines have been used in numerical weather prediction models since about 1970. Especially the semi-Lagrangian advection schemes have been developed with the help of the spline interpolation method. In this paper the consequent formulation of a...
