Popis:	A mathematical scheme is developed to compute the gradients of observations taken over complex terrain. The method is applied to an artificial example to demonstrate the scheme. An application is made to surface pressure observations between Little Rock, Arkansas, and Amarillo, Texas. Divergence computations are made with the scheme using observed wind data over the Black Hills of South Dakota.
