= Implementation Guide = == The implementation of PDAF with an existing model == The implementation of PDAF with an existing model can be performed in several steps. A possible sequence is the following: 1. [AdaptParallelization Adaptation of the parallelization] 2. [InitPdaf Initialization of PDAF and the ensemble by PDAF_init] 3. [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration Modification of the model code for the ensemble integration] 4. [ImplementationofAnalysisStep Implementation of the analysis step] 5. Adding memory and timing information The implementation steps are described on the pages linked above. An example of the implementation is given in the test suite provided with PDAF with the routines in `testsuite/main/` and `testsuite/dummymodel_1D/`. Several routines that contain model and observation specific operations are called by PDAF through its defined interface. These routines need to be implemented by the user. The operations in all these routines are rather elementary like the initialization of the model's physical fields from a state vector provided by PDAF and the initialization of the vector of observations. The example mentioned above also includes examples for these routines. In addition, the directory `templates/` contains template implementations of the routines that can be used as a basis for new implementations.
