 averages the data to the model resolution.    
 The averaged topography is then passed through a Lanczos (1966) filter in both dimensions  
 which removes the smallest  
 scales while inhibiting Gibbs phenomena.    
   
 In one dimension, we may define a cyclic function in $x$ as:  
 \begin{equation}  
 f(x) = {a_0 \over 2} + \sum_{k=1}^N \left( a_k \cos(kx) + b_k \sin(kx) \right)  
 \label{eq:fizhi:filt}  
 \end{equation}  
 where $N = { {\rm IM} \over 2 }$ and ${\rm IM}$ is the total number of points in the $x$ direction.  
 Defining $\Delta x = { 2 \pi \over {\rm IM}}$, we may define the average of $f(x)$ over a  
 $2 \Delta x$ region as:  
   
 \begin{equation}  
 \overline {f(x)} = {1 \over {2 \Delta x}} \int_{x-\Delta x}^{x+\Delta x} f(x^{\prime}) dx^{\prime}  
 \label{eq:fizhi:fave1}  
 \end{equation}  
   
 Using equation (\ref{eq:fizhi:filt}) in equation (\ref{eq:fizhi:fave1}) and integrating, we may write:  
   
 \begin{equation}  
 \overline {f(x)} = {a_0 \over 2} + {1 \over {2 \Delta x}}  
 \sum_{k=1}^N \left [  
 \left. a_k { \sin(kx^{\prime}) \over k } \right /_{x-\Delta x}^{x+\Delta x} -  
 \left. b_k { \cos(kx^{\prime}) \over k } \right /_{x-\Delta x}^{x+\Delta x}  
 \right]  
 \end{equation}  
 or  
   
 \begin{equation}  
 \overline {f(x)} = {a_0 \over 2} + \sum_{k=1}^N {\sin(k \Delta x) \over {k \Delta x}}  
 \left( a_k \cos(kx) + b_k \sin(kx) \right)  
 \label{eq:fizhi:fave2}  
 \end{equation}  
   
 Thus, the Fourier wave amplitudes are simply modified by the Lanczos filter response  
 function ${\sin(k\Delta x) \over {k \Delta x}}$.  This may be compared with an $mth$-order  
 Shapiro (1970) filter response function, defined as $1-\sin^m({k \Delta x \over 2})$,  
 shown in Figure \ref{fig:fizhi:lanczos}.  
 It should be noted that negative values in the topography resulting from  
 the filtering procedure are {\em not} filled.

 The 10 minute by 10 minute topography is passed through a wavelet

 The topography is then averaged to $1^\circ x 1^\circ$ grid resolution, and then
