PCB Example 5--Map 1

Maps of PCB concentration in South Central sector of Hudson River. Because PCB concentration is first transposed by anamorphosis into a standard normal distribution, the mean is known to be zero and we can use simple kriging to estimate the concentration.

1. PCB concentration in top 12 inches of bottom sediment, in three ranges. Blue = less than 25 micrograms/cc, Yellow = 25 to 50 micrograms/cc, and Red = over 50 micrograms/cc.
