Table 2. Estimated covariance parameters.

OK SLM SLM-TF RFRK
Nugget 278.08 257.17 226.78 261.08
Partial Sill 135.05 68.59 53.03 13.52
Range 139.09 189.31 167.98 100.66
Effective Range 485.03 576.87 494.19 160.44
Nugget-to-Sill Ratio 0.67 0.79 0.81 0.95

The effective range is the distance (km) beyond which spatial autocorrelation is less than 0.01, and the nugget-to-sill ratio is given by σ^ϵ2/(σ^z2+σ^ϵ2).
