Generating NADP Deposition Maps using Cokriging Chris Lehmann & Bob Larson* Data Management and Analysis Subommittee April 2007
Cokriging • Cokriging uses information from multiple variables. The main variable (Z1), and both autocorrelation with Z1 and cross-correlations between Z1 and other variables are used to make predictions • If you have a sparse network of data (i.e., NADP sites) and a more dense network of data (i.e., NWS sites), co-kriging uses data from more dense network to aid interpolation of sparse nework.
What we tried • Obtained NWS cooperative network from Midwest Regional Climate Center (MRCC) • Quality-assured for completeness • Removed outlier • Cokrigged ammonium and sulfate against NWS data • ESRI ArcView 9.1 Geostatistical Analyst Wizard • CAVEAT: Neither Bob nor I are geostatisticians.
Ammonium Kriging with 3rd Order Trend Removal
Ammonium Cokriging with 3rd Order Trend Removal
Sulfate Cokriging with 3rd Order Trend Removal
Discussion… • Develop whitepaper on possible data interpolation procedures, their assumptions, and pro/cons? • Find a real geostatistician?
