Popis: The sea surface height data volume of the future wide-swath two-dimensional (2D) altimetric satellite is thousands of times greater than that of nadir altimetric satellites. The time complexity of the 2D altimetry mapping reaches O(n3). It is challenging to map the global grid products of future 2D altimetric satellites. In this study, to improve the efficiency of global data mapping, a new algorithm called parallel-dynamic interpolation (PA-DI) was designed. Through the use of 2D data segmentation and fine-grained data mosaic methods, the parallel along-track DI processes were accelerated, and a fast and efficient spatial-temporal high-resolution and low-error enhanced mapping method was obtained. As determined from a comparison of the single-threaded DI with the PA-DI, the new algorithm optimized the time complexity from O(n3) to O(n3/KL), which improved the mapping efficiency and achieved the expected results. According to the test results of the observing system simulation experiments, the PA-DI algorithm may provide an efficient and reliable method for future wide-swath 2D altimetric satellite mapping.
