Abstract: | Spatiotemporal variables constitute a large class of geohydrological phenomena. Estimation of these variables requires the extension of geostatistical tools into the space-time domain. Before applying these techniques to space-time data, a number of important problems must be addressed. These problems can be grouped into four general categories: (1) fundamental differences with respect to spatial problems, (2) data characteristics, (3) structural analysis including valid models, and (4) space-time kriging. Adequate consideration of these problems leads to more appropriate estimation techniques for spatiotemporal data. |
