Adjustment of state space models in view of area rainfall estimation

This paper uses state space models and the Kalman filter to merge weather radar and rain gauge measurements in order to improve area rainfall estimates. Particular attention is given to the estimation of state space model parameters because precipitation data clearly deviates from the normal distrib...
