    39 With Version 1.8 of PDAF, the ESTKF [Error Subspace Transform Kalman Filter] algorithm has been introduced. The user-supplied routines required for the ESTKF are identical to those required for the SEIK filter and amost identical to those required for the ETKF method.
     39With Version 1.16 of PDAF we introduced generic routines for the analysis step, which only distinguish global and local filters. These routines are used with OMI (observation module infrastrucutre, which has been introduced by version 1.16). This page describes the implementation of the analysis step for global filters.
    4040
    41 For the analysis step of the ESTKF different operations related to the observations are needed. These operations are requested by PDAF by call-back routines supplied by the user. Intentionally, the operations are split into separate routines in order to keep the operations rather elementary and efficient. This procedure should simplify the implementation. The names of the required routines are specified in the call to the routine `PDAF_assimilate_estkf` in the fully-parallel implementation (or `PDAF_put_state_estkf` for the 'flexible' implementation) that was discussed before. With regard to the parallelization, all these routines are executed by the filter processes (`filterpe=.true.`) only.
     41For the analysis step of the global filters different operations related to the observations are needed. These operations are requested by PDAF by call-back routines supplied by the user and provided in the OMI structure. The names of the routines that are provided by the user are specified in the call to the routine `PDAF_assimilate_global` in the fully-parallel implementation (or `PDAF_put_state_global` for the 'flexible' implementation) that was discussed before. With regard to the parallelization, all these routines are executed by the filter processes (`filterpe=.true.`) only.

    43 For completeness we discuss here all user-supplied routines that are specified in the interface to PDAF_assimilate_estkf. Thus, some of the user-supplied routines that are explained on the page describing the modification of the model code for the ensemble integration are repeated here.

    4444
    45 The ESTKF and the ETKF (Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter) are very similar. For this reason, the interface to the user-supplied routines is almost identical. Depending on the implementation it can be possible to use identical routines for the ESTKF and the ETKF. Differences are marked in the text below.

    49 The general aspects of the filter specific routines `PDAF_assimilate_*` have been described on the page [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration Modification of the model code for the ensemble integration] and its sub-page on [InsertAnalysisStep inserting the analysis step]. The routine is used in the fully-parallel implementation variant of the data assimilation system. When the 'flexible' implementation variant is used, the routines `PDAF_put_state_*' is used as described further below. Here, we list once more the full interface of the routine. Subsequently, the full set of user-supplied routines specified in the call to `PDAF_assimilate_estkf` is explained.

    8479To indicate user-supplied routines we use the prefix `U_`. In the template directory `templates/` as well as in the example implementation in `testsuite/src/dummymodel_1D` these routines exist without the prefix, but with the extension `_pdaf.F90`. In the section titles below we provide the name of the template file in parentheses.

    142 === `U_init_obs` (init_obs_pdaf.F90) ===
    143 
    144 This routine is used by all global filter algorithms (SEEK, SEIK, EnKF, ETKF, ESTKF).
    145 
    146 The interface for this routine is:
    147 {{{
    148 SUBROUTINE init_obs(step, dim_obs_p, observation_p)
    149 
    150   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step             ! Current time step
    151   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_p        ! PE-local dimension of obs. vector
    152   REAL, INTENT(out)   :: observation_p(dim_obs_p) ! PE-local observation vector
    153 }}}
    154 
    155 The routine is called during the analysis step.
    156 It has to provide the vector of observations in `observation_p` for the current time step.
    157 
    158 For a model using domain decomposition, the vector of observations that exist on the model sub-domain for the calling process has to be initialized.
    159 
    160 
    161137=== `U_prepoststep` (prepoststep_ens_pdaf.F90) ===
    162138
    … …  
    195171
    196172
    197 === `U_prodRinvA` (prodrinva_pdaf.F90) ===
    198 
    199 This routine is used by all filter algorithms that use the inverse of the observation error covariance matrix (SEEK, SEIK, ETKF, ESTKF).
    200 
    201 The interface for this routine is:
    202 {{{
    203 SUBROUTINE prodRinvA(step, dim_obs_p, rank, obs_p, A_p, C_p)
    204 
    205   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step                ! Current time step
    206   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_p           ! PE-local dimension of obs. vector
    207   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: rank                ! Rank of initial covariance matrix
    208   REAL, INTENT(in)    :: obs_p(dim_obs_p)    ! PE-local vector of observations
    209   REAL, INTENT(in)    :: A_p(dim_obs_p,rank) ! Input matrix from analysis routine
    210   REAL, INTENT(out)   :: C_p(dim_obs_p,rank) ! Output matrix
    211 }}}
    212 
    213 The routine is called during the analysis step. In the algorithms the product of the inverse of the observation error covariance matrix with some matrix has to be computed. For the ESTKF this matrix holds the observed part of the ensemble perturbations. The matrix is provided as `A_p`. The product has to be given as `C_p`.
    214 
    215 For a model with domain decomposition, `A_p` contains the part of the matrix that resides on the model sub-domain of the calling process. The product has to be computed for this sub-domain, too.
    216 
    217 Hints:
    218  * The routine does not require that the product is implemented as a real matrix-matrix product. Rather, the product can be implemented in its most efficient form. For example, if the observation error covariance matrix is diagonal, only the multiplication of the diagonal with matrix `A_p` has to be implemented.
    219  * The observation vector `obs_p` is provided through the interface for cases where the observation error variance is relative to the actual value of the observations.
    220  * The interface has a difference for ESTKF and ETKF: For ETKF the third argument is the ensemble size (`dim_ens`), while for the ESTKF it is the rank (`rank`) of the covariance matrix (usually ensemble size minus one). In addition, the second dimension of `A_p` and `C_p` has size `dim_ens` for ETKF, while it is `rank` for the ESTKF.  (Practically, one can usually ignore this difference as the fourth argument of the interface can be named arbitrarily in the routine.)
    221 
    222 === `U_init_obsvar` (init_obsvar_pdaf.F90) ===
    223 
    224 This routine is used by the global filter algorithms SEIK, ETKF, and ESTKF as well as the local filters LSEIK, LETKF, ad LESTKF. The routine is only called if the adaptive forgetting factor is used (`type_forget=1` in the example impementation).
    225 
    226 The interface for this routine is:
    227 {{{
    228 SUBROUTINE init_obsvar(step, dim_obs_p, obs_p, meanvar)
    229 
    230   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step          ! Current time step
    231   INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_p     ! PE-local dimension of observation vector
    232   REAL, INTENT(in) :: obs_p(dim_obs_p) ! PE-local observation vector
    233   REAL, INTENT(out)   :: meanvar       ! Mean observation error variance
    234 }}}
    235 
    236 The routine is called in the global filters during the analysis or
    237 by the routine that computes an adaptive forgetting factor (PDAF_set_forget).
    238 The routine has to initialize the mean observation error variance. 
    239 For the global filters this should be the global mean.
    240 
    241 Hints:
    242  * For a model with domain-decomposition one might use the mean variance for the model sub-domain of the calling process. Alternatively one can compute a mean variance for the full model domain using MPI communication (e.g. the function `MPI_allreduce`).
    243  * The observation vector `obs_p` is provided to the routine for the case that the observation error variance is relative to the value of the observations.

    252179== Execution order of user-supplied routines ==
    253180
    254 For the ESTKF, the user-supplied routines are essentially executed in the order they are listed in the interface to `PDAF_assimilate_estkf`. The order can be important as some routines can perform preparatory work for later routines. For example, `U_init_dim_obs` can prepare an index array that provides the information for executing the observation operator in `U_obs_op`.
     181The user-supplied routines are essentially executed in the order they are listed in the interface to `PDAF_assimilate_global`. The order can be important as some routines can perform preparatory work for later routines. For example, `U_init_dim_obs` prepares an index array that provides the information for executing the observation operator in `U_obs_op`. How this information is initialized is described in the documentation of OMI.
    255182
    256183Before the analysis step is called the following routine is executed:

    264  1. [#U_obs_opobs_op_pdaf.F90 U_obs_op] (`dim_ens` calls: one call for each ensemble member)
    265  1. [#U_init_obsvarinit_obsvar_pdaf.F90 U_init_obsvar] (Only executed, if the adaptive forgetting factor is used (`type_forget=1` in the example implemention))
     189 1. [#U_obs_opobs_op_pdaf.F90 U_obs_op] (multiple calls for each ensemble members)
    266190 1. [#U_prodRinvAprodrinva_pdaf.F90 U_prodRinvA]
    267191 1. [#U_prepoststepprepoststep_ens_pdaf.F90 U_prepoststep] (Call to act on the analysis ensemble, called with (positive) value of the time step)
    268192
    269 In case of the routine `PDAF_assimilate_estkf`, the following routines are executed after the analysis step:
     193In case of the routine `PDAF_assimilate_global`, the following routines are executed after the analysis step:
