Mapping spatial distribution of particulate matter using Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighting at supersites of megacity Delhi

A Comparison on Function of Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighting Models in PM10 Zoning in Urban Area

Introduction: The present study aimed to compare the performance of two widely-used models for spatial assessment of particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10) in ambient air of Yazd city. Finally, effective factors on concentrations of pollutants and corresponding standards were investigated. Materials and Methods: A number of 13 sampling stations were employed in different areas of Yazd ...

Spatial Interpolation via Inverse Path Distance Weighting

The R package ipdw provides functions for interpolation of georeferenced point data via Inverse Path Distance Weighting. Useful for coastal marine applications where barriers in the landscape preclude interpolation with Euclidean distances. This method of interpolation requires significant computation and is only practical for relatively small and coarse grids. The ipdw implementation may provi...

Ordinary kriging vs inverse distance weighting: spatial interpolation of the sessile community of Madagascar reef, Gulf of Mexico

Information about the distribution and abundance of the habitat-forming sessile organisms in marine ecosystems is of great importance for conservation and natural resource managers. Spatial interpolation methodologies can be useful to generate this information from in situ sampling points, especially in circumstances where remote sensing methodologies cannot be applied due to small-scale spatia...

Modelling Local Gps/levelling Geoid with the Assesstment of Inverse Distance Weighting and Geostatistical Kriging Methods

According to wide spread use of satellite based positioning techniques, especially GPS (Global Positioning System), a greater attention has started to be paid to precise determination of geoid models with an aim to replace the geometric levelling measurements with GPS measurements during geodetic and surveying works. In this paper, geoid modelling is evaluated as a surface fitting problem accor...
