Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[idvusers] Irregular data analysis into grids, and the IDV

What is a good way to analyse irregular point observations, for displaying as 
2D grids in the IDV?
UNAVCO archives high precision monument GPS positions (http://facility.unavco.org/data/data.html), and earth strain measurements, at more than 800 stations in North America. I would like to analyse these randomly-located GPS changes in displacement into a continuous 2D field, to compare to the stain measurements. 
Does the IDV have data processing capability that can be used for this, or are Jython formulas for the IDV available, or 
are there sources for other software to preprocess the GPS observations into 2D grids?  The GPS data has three 
components of displacement (x,y,z) as a function of time, amounting to 3D velocity vectors, and three error estimates. A 
first approximation is a continuous field fitted to the values. Of course the interesting places really are where 
continuity breaks down, as a faults.
