Hello,

another idea, unfortunately no solution, would be to ask at the r-sig-geo Mailinglist[1] - a list on the statistic-package R, which can be used directly in QGIS via the ManageR-Plugin...if you know a little bit of statistics and R... but could also be a little bit of overdoing if you have never worked with R before...

Maybe an idea...

Hi Nikos,

I think this would be a perfect question for gis.stackexchange.com <http://gis.stackexchange.com>

A manual approach (135 stations is not that much) would be to decide on a maximum distance between stations (depends on your analysis requirements I guess) and then buffer the station points accordingly. You can then manually remove points with redundant/overlapping geographic coverage.

But I'm sure there are better solutions :)

Best wishes,
Anita

    Hello List,


    I have an interesting problem, and I'd really appreciate if you could
    give a couple insightful tips on how you'd solve the following:

    I want to order some meteo (rain mm/month for PSDI) data from my
    corresponding national agency, but in their infinitive wisdom they
    choose to place their weather stations in a pattern that follows
    anything but a canonical distribution.

    I know this because they sent me a shp file with all their 136
    stations
    which are available to the general public - for a fee of couse.

    Now my problems arise on how I choose  which possible combination
    of my
    dataset of stations correspond to a canonical distribution of the
    mainland - keeping the set of the stations to a minimum as with each
    station the cost goes up?
    I want to be as much efficient one can be using GIS technology ;)


    My initial thinking is to find a subdataset which have their voronoi
    polygons created with the same area. But im not so sure if thats the
    correct approach

    Any tips on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated!




    Ves Nikos
