3D EMPIRICAL BAYESIAN KRIGING
Modeling dissolved oxygen in Monterey Bay
This 3D map is actually a layer stack of surface models, each depicting ranges of dissolved oxygen levels at various depths in Monterey Bay off the coast of North- ern California. It is easy to see that dissolved oxygen levels vary not only across
each surface but also vertically through the layers.
