Universal Kriging - Urban Group Context Universal Kriging is a common geostatistic technique used for spatial interpolation, that combines a (multi)linear regression analysis —with auxiliary variables called covariates— along with a spatial interpolation —done taking into account the auto-correlated spatial structure of the data—. In our case, we have applied this methodology as a post-process of the CALIOPE-Urban dispersion model, developed by the Earth Science Department of the Barcelona Sup…
