Stochastic parameterisation
Stochastic generation of (spatially uncorrelated) data
SPRING allows the stochastic generation of spatially correlated or non-correlated input parameters like hydraulic conductivity.





Spatially uncorrelated data
Stochastically generated parameters (following a defined function) are assigned to all or individual nodes or elements of a layer.
Stochastic generation of spatially correlated data
Spatially correlated data
Spatially correlated data are generated using a “turning-band” algorithm (exponential approach). The interpolation accounts for the similarity of data as a function of their proximity and spatial correlation lengths may vary in three dimensions.
