The new grid generation technique is the combination of two a priori mesh criteria a) the wavelength to grid size
ratio and b) the topographic length scale criteria. This combination optimally and more accurately places grid nodes
in areas where high resolution is needed. Error analysis of computed versus measured elevation amplitude and
phase at 101 stations in addition to an assessment of measured data errors globally and locally quantifies the level of
