Hi Marna
These are a few suggestions for EDA of your data Firstly check it – it is laborious work but it needs to be done – use a proper database if R is not suitable (memory,time) dat <- read.csv("G:/1/example_subsetdata.csv") dat <- subset(dat, !is.na(depth)) apply(dat,2,range,na.rm=T) table(cut(dat$depth, breaks = seq(496.5, 498.5, 0.25), include.lowest = TRUE, labels = F)) # needs more groups to even out numbers # use hand drafted breaks table(dat$Y) dat$ldepth <- cut(dat$depth, breaks = seq(496.5, 498.5, 0.25), include.lowest = TRUE, labels = F) xyplot(Y ~ X|factor(ldepth), subset(dat, Y > 400), pch = ".", as.table = TRUE) xyplot(flow ~ X|factor(ldepth), subset(dat, Y > 400), pch = ".", as.table = TRUE, col =1) xyplot(flow ~ Y|factor(ldepth), subset(dat, Y > 400), pch = ".", as.table = TRUE, col =1) I have made pch = ‘.’ so that points are not overtopping. increase by by units ie cex = 2 , cex =3 if you want to make them larger Have a look a lattice::par.settings and names(trellis.par.get()) these will make things easier if you you are using panel functions. I did not go further but the next step in this would be lattice 3d plots contourplot wireframe etc. You will get more information in working with the full dataset I have not really gone into spatials but you should look at the task view on spatial analysis. and the spatial SIG How you proceed will be partly determined by your future requirements of which I am not qualified.

Hi Duncan, Thank you very much for the message. Indeed I do have a very big data set with a grid size of 10cm * 10 cm. Every 10 cm*10cm grid has the value of X,Y, depth and flow measurement. I have attached a subset of the data.

Hi R Users, Is it possible to visualize river flow in 3D (latitude, longitude with respect to depth)? The example of my data looks like.
