precip

Longitude-latitude postion of monitoring stations.

Standardized precipitaton. The square root of precip has 
been standardized by subtracting the 30 year ( 1960-1989) mean and 
dividing 
by the standard deviation. This is a simple way to transform to a process  
that closer to a stationary Gaussian field.

Additional locations for cross-validation. The 
locations weere generated as a space-filling type design.

Fields is a collection of programs for curve and function
 fitting with an emphasis on spatial data and spatial statistics. The
 major methods implemented include cubic and thin plate splines, universal
 Kriging and Kriging for large data sets. One main feature is that any
 covariance function implemented in R can be used for spatial prediction.
