[R-sig-Geo] Fw: AGU Book on Rainfall: Request for chapter contribution

[jgarcia at ija.csic.es]

Dear Ageel,
Perhaps searching for geostatistics uses for multisensor rainfall
estimation you could find a number of authors that could do this
relatively fast (e.g., Dong J. Seo, Witold Krajewski, Smith...)
Good luck,

I guess you know geostatistics uses for multisensor rainfall estimation.
