I have 62 years of monthly rainfall and temperature data. The problem is that I have a lot of missing values. I would like to use the IDW method to fill them. Could you please tell how to do it?
You have the data in maps or in tabular form? If you have the data in maps, What I would have is to create a dense point network over your image, extract the values of your desired variable, and finally create an interpolated surface in the entire area using the IDW method. Once you have this done, then you should clip the area where the original missing data were placed, and "paste" the interpolated surface (only in the missing data area).
I hope this can help you. If you need more help, please feel free to contact me.
