Climate variations in the state of Bahia: a space-time geostatistical modeling of temperatures

This article models, through Geostatistics, a database with space-time characteristics seeking to examine climate variations in the state of Bahia located Northeast region Brazil. dataset consists information from 86 stations recorded by National Institute Meteorology (INMET) January 2010 December 2022 for state. The focus analysis was study time series data related air temperature. Initially, descriptive carried out and graphics were generated understand general climatic region, monthly. Then, Geostatistics used explore structure using semivariogram assess spatial dependence data, ordinary kriging as an interpolating method three theoretical models semivariograms. combination aforementioned methodologies allows characterization Bahia, such way that discoveries can also contribute predictability providing insights natural resource planning, agricultural management, prediction adaptation strategies. performed R programming language, which is recognized worldwide studies.
