Abstract

Environmental data is nearly always multivariate and often spatial–temporal. Thus to interpolate the data in space or to predict in space–time it is necessary to use a multivariate spatial–temporal method. Cokriging is easily extended to spatial–temporal data if there are valid space–time variograms or covariance functions. Various authors have proposed such models. In this paper, a generalized product–sum model is used with a linear coregionalization model for cokriging. The GSLib “COKB3D” program was modified to incorporate the space–time linear coregionalization model (ST-LCM), using the generalized product–sum variogram model. Hence, a new GSLib software, named “COK2ST”, is proposed. To demonstrate the use of the software, hourly measurements of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide from the Puglia region in Italy are used.
