the weight coefficients w j must satisfy the condition for the dependence of the
transport error only on the values of δζ at the ends of the section in the ocean with
the bottom slope compensating for the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter. Therefore, they must be proportional to the depth at the ends of the section,
while at the remaining points they must be proportional to the sum of the variation
of the depth and the mentioned change in the section segments corresponding to
these points. The account for the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter can
be important for the tracks of quasi-meridional sections at low latitudes. Since the
step of the section partitioning we used in calculating the bottom relief along the
section is much smaller than the resolution of the initial array of the bottom
