Introduction

    MSN Spatial Sampling Optimization (SSO) package is designed

• According to the latest MSN (Mean of Surface with Non-homogeneity) theory;
• Calculating the global mean amd its variance;
• Estimating the number of additional spatial samples needed;
• Exporting the distribution of samples;
• ...

Case Study

        A sample of Chinese meteorological stations adjustment was supported to run the package. There are 716 stations currently. The meteorological element is average temperature from 1997 to 2007. Detailed operation of the package was given in the demo. Go to...
