תקציר	Global Universal Kriging is a geostatistical interpolation method that models a spatially varying trend (drift) as a deterministic function of coordinates and uses the entire dataset to fit both the trend coefficients and the residual variogram simultaneously. It produces optimal linear unbiased predictions together with pointwise estimation uncertainty, accounting for a large-scale spatial gradient across the full study region.	Ordinary Kriging (OK) is the standard geostatistical method for interpolating a continuous spatial variable at unsampled locations. It derives optimal, unbiased weights from the spatial covariance structure of the data, making it the Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) under stationarity assumptions. Unlike simpler distance-based methods, it also provides a prediction uncertainty (kriging variance) at every interpolated point.
