Spatial Continuous Phenomena, Sampling

This lecture discusses the sampling procedures used in the analysis of continuous phenomena in geographical space, such as precipitation levels or chemical properties of water bodies. Sampling is necessary due to the impracticality of measuring every point in the territory. It precedes interpolation methods that predict values of continuous variables. Various sampling procedures are applied based on the territory's characteristics and analyzed phenomena, aiming to minimize prediction uncertainty by meeting specific constraints like precise study area delimitation, spatial representativeness, and sufficient and homogeneous measurement points.
