[Enh] spatio-temporal variogram estimation #312

Open MuellerSeb opened 1 year ago

MuellerSeb commented 1 year ago

At the moment we provide directional variogram estimation, but we can't estimate an omni-directional variogram in a sub-space of the given data (eg. time-slices for a given spatio-temporal data set).

Implementing this could be quiet easy:

To not further bloat the vario_estimate routine, we could add a temporal_vario_estimate to estimate (omnidirectional) variogram of spatial dimension and separately the time dimension.

This could also handle the special case of spatio-temporal latlon data and is very useful for unstructured data.
