Ionospheric delay effect is a critical issue that limits the accuracy of precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and navigation for single-frequency users, especially in mid- and low-latitude regions where variations in the ionosphere are larger. Kriging spatial interpolation techniques have been recently introduced to model the spatial correlation and variability of ionos...

Title of dissertation: EFFICIENT ALGORITHMS FOR CLUSTERING AND INTERPOLATION OF LARGE SPATIAL DATA SETS Nargess Memarsadeghi Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor David M. Mount Department of Computer Science Categorizing, analyzing, and integrating large spatial data sets are of great importance in various areas such as image processing, pattern recognition, remote sen...

Distributed hydrological model can be divided into two parts, as runoff and the convergence. Runoff calculation is the basis of distributed hydrological model, its results will determine the accuracy of the simulation results directly. Rainfall is an important input of runoff calculation, thus its accuracy has special significance to runoff calculation. For most small watershed, now mainly rely...

Stochastic methods of space-time interpolation and conditional simulation have been used in statistical downscaling approaches to increase the resolution of measured fields. One of the popular interpolation methods in geostatistics is kriging, also known as optimal interpolation in data assimilation. Kriging is a stochastic, linear interpolator which incorporates time/space variability by means...

and Salas (1985) compared kriging with several other interpolation techniques, including inverse distance, for The choice of an optimal interpolation technique for estimating annual precipitation distributions and found kriging to soil properties at unsampled locations is an important issue in sitebe superior to inverse distance weighting.

the estimation of pollution fields, especially in densely populated areas, is an important application in the field of environmental science due to the significant effects of air pollution on public health. in this paper, we investigate the spatial distribution of three air pollutants in tehran’s atmosphere: carbon monoxide (co), nitrogen dioxide (no2), and atmospheric particulate matters less ...

     Drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. It is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. In many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. Geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of v...

Until now, Universal Kriging has not been used for the mapping of geological data in Croatia. However, it is one of the most frequently used methods of Kriging, probably the most adequate in cases when the input data is marked by a common trend. That exact feature is often an attribute of deep geological data, and thereby that of structural maps. Mapped surfaces in a row of examples have a stru...
