Lab 5 Interpolations


      Although these different methods of interpolation yielded slightly different estimations, the results remain constant and demonstrate that this season to date has experienced more rainfall than an average year. Every collecting station is registering rain collection that surpasses the norm. I believe the kriging method yielded more accurate, detailed results than the spline method. Comparing both maps to the original LADPW template demonstrates that the kriging method of interpolation estimated values closer to the actual measurements (for those I did not include in my table). Overall, interpolation is an easy form of estimation that reveals great spatial data.
