This token will not be available for other users, avoiding in that way an abusive use of this key by others.
Last update : 20/06/2018 This post will sum up a few sources of information useful if you are interested in spatialization or development.
Spatialization and GIS Definition : Spatialization or spatial interpolation creates a continuous surface from values measured at discrete locations to predict values at any location in the interest zone with the best accuracy.
The book Using ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst will give you an efficient overview about spatialization.
In the course of my studies in Bordeaux Sciences Agro, I realised a 3-month internship. This internship took place in the Walloon agricultural research centre (CRA-W)) from May 22nd to August 20th 2018. I made a contribution to the AGROMET project in Farming Systems, Territory and Information Technologies Unit. The aim of the Agromet project is to provide a near real-time hourly gridded datasets of weather parameters at the resolution of 1 km² for the whole region of Wallonia characterized by a quality indicator.
