Description

The utilty pkkalman will complement a time series of observations (option -obs) at fine spatial resolution. A data assimilation technique based on a Kalman filter is hereby used. The data at fine spatial resolution are assimilated with coarse spatial resolution time series at a finer temporal resolution, referred to as a model (option -mod). The time series for both observation and model can either be provided as multi-band raster datasets or as multiple single band datasets. Missing data in the observations are predicted by the algorithm. The model must cover at least the spatial coverage of the observation. The missing data must be provided either as nodata values in the input (using option -obsnodata) or as an external mask (using option -obsmask). The time sequence for the model and observation should be provided via the options -tmod and -tobs. Tuning parameters for the algorithm are process noise (option -q) and the weights for uncertainty of valid observations (-uo) and the model (-um).
