Roger's solution makes sense to me. The sinusoidal does have the appearance of pinching poleward, a consequence of allocating equal area by spacing equally in both x and y. Also the Lambert cylindrical sent in before should have had standard parallels set to +/- 30, i.e., (See attached file: whem

perhaps use spplot(OK_pred[1], ...) which would be more or less short for levelplot(var1.pred~x+y, as.data.frame(OK_pred), aspect = "iso", ...) -- Edzer temiz wrote: >hello > >why does levelplot function give an error > >OK_pred <- krige(z~1,el4, newdata=mask_SG, model=efitted) >levelplot(var

For preview graphics and for large areas such as continents, large countries, hemispheres, or the whole earth, spherical projections are often adequate. I can provide some of the ones I have used. For detailed work at sites and small areas, ellipsoidal projections such as UTM are usually used, an
