abstract in the recent decades, application of geostatistic and remote sensing for mapping salinity and sodicity of surface soil and monitoring it's changes have been developed. the goal of this research was to compare the capability of geostatistic and remote sensing methods for mapping salinity-sodicity of soils in playa from sourthern mah valat county, in the khorasan razavi province. 88 sam...

background; brucellosis (malta fever) is a major contagious zoonotic disease, with economic and public health importance. methods; to assess the effect of meteorological (temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind) and climate parameters on incidence of brucellosis, brucellosis distribution and meteorological zoning maps of zanjan province were prepared using inverse distance weighting (idw) and...

drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. it is normally performed usingvarious 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 interpolationof spatially referenced data and the prediction of values fo...

This paper analyzes the validity of temperature maps obtained by means of single and mixed interpolation methods. In this context, several interpolation methods are used for the temperature mapping: inverse distance square (IDS), ordinary kriging (OK) and co-kriging (CK) and mixed methods (combined global, local and geostatistical methods). And the validity of the maps is checked through the cr...

     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...

The groundwater quality research is one of the important and its pollution control was included insome research literatures. Ground water quality has spatial and temporal variation so classical statisticscould not account these variations at the regional scale researches. This study usedgeo-statisticalmethodsto optimize an interpolation method in order to estimate the spatial distribution of pH...

Eight interpolation methods are implemented and tested over a 60 km × 60 km region in Korea, using the results from automatic stereo-matching of SPOT images. First, with the simulated elevation data from digitised contours of paper maps, Kriging and Multiquadric methods show higher performance: with the accuracy better than 3 m than other methods and the speed of ~400 s on a Sparc 20 machine. S...

The study was carried out with 107 measurements of volumetric soil water content (SWC) and electrical conductivity (EC) for soil profile (0-30 cm) and the estimating accuracy of ordinary kriging (OK) and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) was compared. The results showed that BPNN method predicted a slightly better accurate SWC than that of OK, but differences between both methods were not ...
