Abstract
The turning bands method generates realizations of isotropic Gaussian random fields by means of appropriately summed line processes. For two-dimensional simulations the relation between the isotropic correlation function of the random field and the correlation function to be simulated along the lines is given by an integral equation of Abel type. We present closed form solutions of this integral equation for almost all two-dimensional correlation models encountered in practice and discuss their numerical implementation. As an additional benefit, our tables and illustrations serve as a concise guide to correlation models useful in geostatistics.
