My apologies for having taken so long to reply to everyone. It's been a busy week. I do appreciate the terminolgy warnings as regards UK vs. KT; I have a bad habit of being a little loose with terms outside of my field.

Basically, when I said they share the same trend/fabric, I meant that they share the same anisotropy. Because we have continous coverage of the secondary variable (bathymetry), I can (hypothetically anyway, in practice this may be more difficult) derive an anisotropy ellipse for each point I'm interested in estimating. The magnetics (my primary variable) will follow the anisotropy pattern of the bathymetry, as they're both produced by the same process. Is there any method that allows the variogram model of the primary variable to vary spatially as a function of a secondary variable? Assuming I can derive an anisotropy ellipse from the bathymetry that can be related to the variogram model of the magnetics, is it even remotely theoretically sound to allow the variogram model to vary spatially as a function of some other variable? I apologize again if I'm not making much sense. It's 6:00am, and I haven't slept in a while, to say the least, so I'm sure I sound a little deranged!
