Hi Olumide You will find the basic kriging system for Multi-variable Universal Co-kriging in our definitive 1987 paper which can be viewed or downloaded from the web at: http://www.kriging.com/publications/Battelle1987 Our thought was that interdependent trends would be adequately handled by including both trends in the co-kriging system.

Under what typical conditions can such an assumption about drifts be made? In the case of terrain data for example, where the height is the primary variable and the slope or gradient the secondary variable. Are the drift coefficients of both variables ... erm ... dependent? And why. Ultimately, I'm trying to work out the cokriging equation for such a problem.
