Document Summary
3 principles to dev fuller understanding of waters to think of nature of spatial variation. Geographic information science is about representing spatial and temporal phenomena in the observable world. Small things are very intricate in detail. Viewed in aggregate human activity exhibits structure across geo spaces. Stommel diagram spatial space (km^2) v. temporal scale (years) Spatial heterogeneity is a property of a spatial process whose mean or intensity varies from point to point. Spatial autocorrelation states pairs of subjects are close to each other more likely to have values that are more similar and vice versa. Smoothness and irregularity are among the most important distinguishing characteristics of geo data. I drink 4 cups of coffees a day. I drink 80g of coffee every day. Only serves to identify or distinguish one entity from another. Geo objects are classified according to topological dimension which provides a measure of the way they fill space. Assume that these dimensions restricted to integer values.
