Hello everybody, I am a new R & Grass user. I am interested in doing a kriging of the Temperature in a basin, based on pixel elevation (DTM). I use Grass 6.2.1 and R 2.5.1 and have installed the spgrass6 package. The DTM is called "DTM_trentino_100m" and is like this: north:5158000.0 south:5058500.0 east:1729700.0 west:1611600.0 rows:995 cols:1181 -9999.0 -9999.0 -9999.0 370.84381103515625 372.55120849609375 373.13128662109375 ..... I have opened R inside the Grass location, and imported the DTM: > trentino.grid<-readRAST6("DTM_trentino_100m") Creating BIL support files ... Header File = /Users/Matteo/Documents/DataGrass/GBovest/ Permafrost/.tmp/nilo.local/DTM_trentino_100m.hdr World File = /Users/Matteo/Documents/DataGrass/GBovest/ Permafrost/.tmp/nilo.local/DTM_trentino_100m.wld Exporting Raster as double values(bytes=8) Using the Current Region settings ... north=5158000.000000 south=5058500.000000 east=1729700.000000 west=1611600.000000 r=995 c=1181 Percent complete: 100% r.out.bin complete. > summary(trentino.grid) Object of class SpatialGridDataFrame Coordinates: min max coords.x1 1611600 1729700 coords.x2 5058500 5158000 Is projected: TRUE proj4string : [+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0.0000000000 +lon_0=9.0000000000 +k_0=0.9996000000 +x_0=1500000.0000000000 +y_0=0.0000000000 +a=6378388 +rf=297 +no_defs +towgs84=-225.000,-65.000,9.000] Number of points: 2 Grid attributes: cellcentre.offset cellsize cells.dim 1 1611650 100 1181 2 5058550 100 995 Data attributes: DTM_trentino_100m Min. :1.192e-319 1st Qu.:1.065e-314 Median :1.066e-314 Mean :1.285e-312 3rd Qu.:2.722e-312 Max. :4.774e-312 As you can see, the import has been fully done, yet the attributes are not correct. In fact, the Min. value is 1.192e-319 and the Max is 4.774e-312 but in reality the elevation changes between 60m to 3500m. Have I done something wrong? What should I do?
