Hi Carlo,

Note that a sill strongly different from 1 would
mean that the assumption of 2nd order stationarity
underlying SGS is not met.

I wouldn't force the sill to be one when
fitting the model and you have to use a unit sill
model in the simulation program for consistency.
If the deviation is not larger than say 0.1,
I would fit the model to the
experimental values and then rescale the
fitted sills so that they sum to 1 for use
in the simulation program.

Pierre
