8.2 Data analysis and interpretation

Statistical interpretation of the results from in-situ measurements includes several actions.

• Base maps: Maps from the surveyed areas have to be available and properly geo-referenced. The measurement results have to be represented in such maps.
  
  
• Simple statistical treatment, to reveal minimum and maximum values, as well as the variability of the data.
  
  
• Correlation among different variables, if more than one has been measured.
  
  
• Understanding the spatial variability of data.
  
  
• Interpretation and representation of the results.
