Geostatistical Analysis of Orographic Rainbands

The Triggering of Orographic Rainbands by Small-Scale Topography

The triggering of convective orographic rainbands by small-scale topographic features is investigated through observations of a banded precipitation event over the Oregon Coastal Range and simulations using a cloud-resolving numerical model. A quasi-idealized simulation of the observed event reproduces the bands in the radar observations, indicating the model’s ability to capture the physics of...

Geostatistical Analysis of Spatial Data

First, geostatistics provides descriptive tools such as semivariograms to characterize the spatial pattern of continuous and categorical soil attributes. Various interpolation (kriging) techniques capitalize on the spatial correlation between observations to predict attribute values at unsampled locations using information related to one or several attributes. An important contribution of geost...

Geostatistical Analysis: Software Flashpoint

Most spatial analysis computer programs are available on the ‘World Wide Wait’ leading this framework to a new GIS platform. Ultimately, this world expects fast answers because if it works then it is obsolete. To review and to evaluate the present spatial geostatistical analysis software and withdraw major conclusions regarding its implementation status are the major goal of th...

Geostatistical analysis of an experimental stratigraphy

[1] A high-resolution stratigraphic image of a flume-generated deposit was scaled up to sedimentary basin dimensions where a natural log hydraulic conductivity (ln(K)) was assigned to each pixel on the basis of gray scale and conductivity end-members. The synthetic ln(K) map has mean, variance, and frequency distributions that are comparable to a natural alluvial fan deposit. A geostatistical a...
