“…where H r (c, L m , t k ) is the spectral process assumed to be independent across wavenumbers, c. Hence, for the storage and computation of f (c), model (4) requires O(N ) entries and O(N logN ) operations, respectively, as opposed to the covariance function, which requires O(N 2 ) entries and O(N 3 ) operations, respectively. We can also generalize (4) to allow for changing behavior across domains such as land and ocean (Castruccio and Guinness, 2017) or altitude (Jeong et al, 2018). Besides diminishing the storage and computational burdens, this approach allows the inference to be performed in parallel across m, i.e., across latitude, following Principle 2.…”
