It is difficult for us to know exactly what happens as you are not providing a reproducible example. But my guess would be that this is related to your use of a Gaussian variogram without nugget for the first part of the variogram. This can cause rather large weights (positive and negative) if you have observations in close vicinity of each other, leading to predictions far away from your range of observations. See if a small nugget effect (~0.01 or less) can solve the problem, or if you can change to a different variogram model.

Cheers,
Jon

Dear list,

I am doing a 3D estimation of logtransfered subsurface temperature (with a
strong vertical trend) with a Nested 3D variogram, but the results show very
high value over than origin data.
This is not normal and absolutely wrong if I back transfer logged data.

I attached the
<http://r-sig-geo.2731867.n2.nabble.com/file/n7587514/vgm.png>  and anyone
who knows what is the reason for the very high value differ from origin
data?
Or what kind of processing I should to do for the data back transfer? Thanks
in advance for any help.
