newdata: locations in space and time where the simulation is carried out
modelList: the spatio-temporal variogram (from vgmST) defining the spatio-temporal covariance structure of the simulated Gaussian random field
nsim: number of simulations
progress: boolean; whether the progress should be shown in progress bar
nLyrs: number of layers used in the turning bands approach (default = 500)
tGrid: optional explicit temporal griding that shall be used
sGrid: optional explicit spatial griding that shall be used
ceExt: expansion in the circulant embedding, defaults to 2
nmax: number of nearest neighbours that shall e used, defaults to 'Inf' meaning all available points are used
Returns
a spatio-temporal data frame with nSim simulations
