or you could use the ContourList tool and create a selected set of contours. For example, you might want contours every 50 for values less than 200 and then every 100 thereafter. ContourList("elevation", "C:/sapyexamples/output/outcontourlist.shp", [0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600]) ... View more

To add to what Eric said... On the far left we have the simple kriging layer that is used as input, then you create N realizations. The N=8 image is the average of 8 of these realizations. As N increases so will the mean get closer to the input simple kriging layer. This is true for conditional simulations. ... View more

Joseph Your boundary polygon would be the river (the blue area in your image). It means that the interpolation will be constrained by this boundary. Please post the output image that you get and tell us why you think that it is weird.  Also, what is it that you are interpolating? -Steve ... View more

Andrew Because of the dynamic nature of a geostatistical layer the input datasets control is made up of a dataset (or many in the case of cokriging for example) and a field(s). So, you could persist your features using CopyFeatures or you could look into creating a script tool (submodel) that uses the GeostatisticalDatasets class. You could also not use Modelbuilder and create a Python script tool. -Steve ... View more

Robert It appears that you are using unprojected data. In other words, your data are in degrees decimal. One degree latitude is not equal to one degree longitude. Only one interpolation tool in ArcGIS can work with these data, viz., Empirical Bayesian Kriging. For more on this also see Distance calculations for data in geographic coordinates. Alternatively, projected your data prior to interpolation. Regards -Steve ... View more

Peter from using the default cell size you know how long it takes to do 1 pixel and then multiply that by 700 million to get an estimate of the time yours will take. All processing in Desktop is done in 32 bit environment and is limited to 3 or 4 GB's of memory. -Steve ... View more
