| Content Summary | In geostatistical applications, the terms correlation length and range are often used interchangeably and refer to a characteristic covariance length ξ that normalizes the lag distance in the variogram or the covariance model. We present equations that strictly define the correlation length (r c ) and integral range (ℓ c ). We derive analytical expressions for r c and ℓ c of the Whittle–Matérn, fluctuation gradient curvature and rational quadratic covariances. For these covariances, we show that the correlation length and integral range for a given model are not fully determined by ξ. We define non-trivial covariance functions, and we formulate an ergodicity index based on ℓ c . We propose using the ergodicity index to compare coarse-grained measures corresponding to non-trivial covariance functions with different parameters. Finally, we discuss potential applications of the proposed covariance models in stochastic subsurface hydrology. | en |
