The guidelines that I follow include:
* Rainfall interpolation (of any kind) should be done only for long time periods = at least a full season. since you are looking at 13 years of data then this requirement is fulfilled.
* The rules of thumb for "how many points" for kriging interpolation usually says > 30. So again you are fine.
* The GRASS modules offer only ordinary kriging AFAIK, which might be appropriate in this case. But if you want to use Kriging with External Drift with the elevation as the secondary "trend" variable, I think you'll need to go with with R. Having said that, I think that "the jury is still out" on whether elevation improves the interpolation or not.
Micha, Thanks for the insights. I think that OK would be adequate for now because the climate is changing and this is a long-term project that will be monitored and and adjusted as necessary, Regards, Rich _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
