Wolfcamp Aquifer Data

Description

Piezometric head measurements taken at the Wolfcamp Aquifer, Texas, USA. See Cressie (1993, p. 212–214) for description of the scientific problem and the data. Original data were converted to SI units: coordinates are given in kilometers and pressure heads in meters.

Usage

data(wolfcamp)

Format

A data frame with 85 observations on the following 3 variables:

x

a numeric vector with the easting coordinate in kilometers.

y

a numeric vector with the northing coordinate in kilometers.

pressure

a numeric vector with the piezometric head in meters.

Note

The data were imported from the package geoR.
