## Detailed Description

Black volatility surface modelled as variance surface.

This class is similar to BlackVarianceSurface, but extends it to use quotes for the input volatilities.

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Reimplemented from TermStructure.
