Abstract:Hydrological models are widely used for flood forecasting, and proper initialization of hydrological models is essential. Although the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) has shown promise in the context of operational forecasting, it is limited by its intrinsic instability caused by the loss of positive semidefiniteness of the covariance matrix. Effective methods for tackling this problem have not been seen in the literature. The cubature Kalman filter (CKF) is a powerful nonlinear filter for state estimation, whic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
