EXTEND EXTEND specifies the numbers of grid points beyond the GRDAREA which define the grid extend area in the Barnes objective analysis. The first pass is computed on the extend area to reduce edge effects on the GRDAREA. EXTEND is specified as four integers, which are the number of grid points to extend the grid left, down, right, and up. The values are separated by semicolons. The default for EXTEND is 2;2;2;2.
