Tech/Engineering - Geology / variogramme
English term or phrase: sill and nugget
These variograms gave the effective sill and nugget for the variable, and the range of estimation in the Z plane.

Explications du client : The Nugget is the minimum possible variance, i.e. if you take a sample from the ground that is exactly next to another sample, they can still be different because of this nugget variance value. The sill is the maximum variance, i.e. regardless of how far apart these samples are, they will capped at a maximum variance. The sill value is used to indicate that after that point in space (Green line) there is no relationship between samples. In other words, if that green line on the chart was indicating a distance of 500 metres on the horizontal axis, it means that samples that are spaced at more than 500 metres from each other have no relation (or influence) between themselves.

J'espère que le modérateur ne va pas me demander de poser deux questions car ces deux termes sont liés.

Pour le moment mon idée est :

sill : seuil
nugget : ?

seuil et pépite
Explanation:
The software manual in French gives this information:

Présentation du semi-variogramme : portée, seuil et pépite

La valeur à laquelle le semi-variogramme atteint la portée (la valeur de l'axe des y) est appelée le seuil. Un seuil partiel correspond au seuil moins la pépite. La pépite est décrite à la section suivante.
