Kriging • Kriging is BLUE (best linear unbiased estimator). • Kriging is a function that predicts value and error estimates by using data values and their spatial configuration as inputs. • Requires: • Stationarity, i.e. mean and variance are invariant with translation • to support covariance modeling • Normality • to support linear estimation • Advanced Kriging methods can deal with non-normality and non-stationarity.
Test for Normality Tests also performed on subsets of the data.
Examples of Variograms(Variograms for salinity data collected on 8/2/2005) Major azimuth = N60E Major range = 15,000 m Sill = 6 Minor azimuth = N150E Minor range = 1800 m Dip angle = 0 Vertical range = 1 m

Voxels • Voxels = volume pixels or 3D pixels • A voxel volume is formed by superpositioning four 3D arrays: • Red array + Green array + Blue array +Opacity array • Manipulation of the opacity array can make inner voxels visible Plotted with data from head.dat from IDL 6.3 examples

Space-Time Integration timeline ? ? ? What happened in between the observations?
Conclusion • Created set of tools to investigate data, perform 3D interpolation and visualize results. • Analysis framework can be expanded to 4D and modified to incorporate data from deterministic models. • One step towards understanding space-time integration.
Next steps • Understand factors causing salinity patterns observed in August 2005. • Expand on framework to perform space-time kriging • Incorporate results from salinity models into kriging model using kriging with external drift.
