Generating spatially uncorrelated random fields

[martika]

I have DEM (cellsize 10x10 and cells.dim 450x300) and I need to create 100 random error grids that have the same dimensions as the DEM.
The values in the error grids are generated from a normal distribution that has mean of zero anda standard deviation equal to the RMSE of original DEM ~ (0, +-3).
Then I need to add those error grids to the original DEM and create 100 realisation of the original DEM.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well it sounds like you have an idea of what you want to do. What exactly is giving you trouble?

well...I don't have a clue how to do that in R
My DEM is SpatialGridDataFrame and I looked some functions (eg. GaussRF) but they all need covariance or variogram model, and I only have rms error.
