This paper presents a general form of the covariance matrix structure for a vector random field that is axially symmetric and mean square continuous on the sphere and provides a series representation for a longitudinally reversible one. The series representation is somehow an imitator of the covariance matrix function, and both of them have simpler forms than those proposed in the literature in terms of the associated Legendre functions and are useful for modeling and simulation. Also, a general form of the covariance matrix structure is derived for a spatio-temporal vector random field that is axially symmetric and mean square continuous over the sphere, and a series representation is given for a longitudinally reversible one. |
