As being an essential tool for estimating spatial continuous data, interpolation methods have been applied to various disciplines concerned with the Earth’s surface. In the paper, six spatial interpolation algorithms, including an internationally popular ANUDEM method and five other commonly used interpolation methods, were applied in three different landform regions, that is, hills, mountains ...

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 ...

A key problem in environmental monitoring is the spatial interpolation. The main current approach in spatial interpolation is geostatistical. Geostatistics is neither the only nor the best spatial interpolation method. Actually there is no “best” method, universally valid. Choosing a particular method implies to make assumptions. The understanding of initial assumption, of the methods used, and...

sustainable management of limited land and water resources is urgently needed to meet the increasing demand for food and to protect the environment. land suitability analysis is a prerequisite in assessing and proposing sustainable land use alternatives for an area. soil data are usually available at different levels of detail and stored in various forms, usually soil maps and/or soil observati...

In this paper, we proposed a three-point iterative method for finding the simple roots of non- linear equations via mid-point and interpolation approach. The method requires one evaluation of the derivative and three(3) functions evaluation with efficiency index of 81/4 ≈ 1.682. Numerical results reported here, between the proposed method with some other existing methods shows that our method i...
