Hi all,

It's been some time since I approached universal kriging using gstat (I
struggled with this previously, years ago:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2006-May/001017.html).

The problem...

Within GRASS GIS, using R, I do this...

(1) read a raster DEM into R from GRASS -- srtm <-
readRAST("mozambique_srtm_patch",cat=FALSE)
(2) read GRASS point data consisting of 4 fields (category, lon, lat,
temperature) -- airtemp <- readVECT("Mozambique_air_temp_2017_ann")
(3) so I have a SpatialGridDataFrame and SpatialPointsDataFrame,
respectively
(4) I can do the following: plot srtm, airtemp, generate an interpolated
grid of air temperatures with krige, using the airtemp
SpatialPointsDataFrame, and overlay the various data for visualization

What I want to do is to use the srtm DEM data as a secondary trend variable
to spatially interpolate airtemp using universal kriging. I cannot figure
out how to construct the data sets and use krige in gstat to do this. I
have spent several days scouring the internet for an example (including
previous queries of my own, cited above) to no avail.

It seems I should be able to do this, essentially:

> class(dem)
[1] "SpatialGridDataFrame"
attr(,"package")
[1] "sp"

[1] "data.frame"
> coordinates(temps)=~X+Y
> dem.ov=overlay(dem,temps)
> summary(dem.ov)

vgm <- vgm(psill=8,model="Exp",range=600000,nugget=3.8)
> vgm_temps_r<-fit.variogram(variogram(T~gtopo30.dem,temps), model=vgm)

However, when I take this step:

dem.ov=overlay(srtm,airtemp)
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
 unable to find an inherited method for function ‘overlay’ for signature
‘"SpatialGridDataFrame", "SpatialPointsDataFrame"’

The overlay() method was retired long ago in favour of over(), and the order of the arguments was standardised. So over(airtemp, strm) should return the values of strm at the airtemp measuement points.

airtemp$srtm.dem=dem.ov$srtm  <====== this fails (see below)


vgm <- vgm(psill=8,model="Exp",range=600000,nugget=3.8)
vgm_temps_r<-fit.variogram(variogram(temp~srtm.dem,airtemp), model=vgm)
temps_uk<-krige(temp~srtm.dem,airtemp,srtm, vgm_temps_r)

airtemp$srtm.dem=srtm
Error in `[[<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, name, value =
new("SpatialGridDataFrame",  :
 replacement has 72821592 rows, data has 267

Any suggestions?

Best,
Tom
