Smoothing data series by means of cubic splines: quality of approximation and introduction of a repeating spline approach

Cubic splines with equidistant spline sampling points are a common method in atmospheric science, used for the approximation of background conditions by means of filtering superimposed fluctuations from a data series. What is defined as background or superimposed fluctuation depends on the specif...
