Dear all, We
are trying to apply Universal Kriging to “High
Plains” Aquifer in Our
first step was to filter a prominent 1st degree drift. The way we
did it was using Surfer 8.0 (Golden Software) and obtaining the residuals, in
such way that summing the residuals by the 1st degree trend we
obtain the original data. Obviously
the values of this new variable (residuals of LSE, i.e., RLSE) are much lower
than the original one. Calculating
the experimental variogram, modeling it and kriging the variable is possible to obtain the RLSE
(residuals of land surface elevation) map. Summing this map to the drift (calculated
in a deterministic way) we obtain a map that we suppose that represents a map
for the original variable (LSE). But what about the standard deviation? We
did a little test and it seems that the standard deviation map for the
residuals (RLSE) represents the std. dev. map for the original variable (LSE). Is
this a correct conclusion and procedure? If we have less data, will it work? If
we use a 2nd degree drift the standard deviation could be wrong? Thanks
