Els, Which GSLIB program are you using? When you refer to the practical range a and 3a this is normally associated with the exponential model, the GSLIB programs appear to be setup to use spherical model parameters, so you should fit spherical models to your data, in the case of fitting a

Dear Els, GSLIB uses the practical range for the exponential model.The best way to check this is to calculate your experimental variograms with gamv, run the model with vmodel and then plot them together using vargplt. If the model fits correctly your data, then you can copy the parameters from

Hi Els, The key question here is the sampling density and how many data will be included in this search window. If there are many, the screening effect will greatly attenuate the impact of the data further away, hence using a or 3a won't make a big difference. If data are sparser, then usually I
