    162162The routine `U_prepoststep` is called once at the beginning of the assimilation process. In addition, it is called during the assimilation cycles before the analysis step and after the ensemble transformation. The routine is called by all filter processes (that is `filterpe=1`).
    163163
    164 The routine provides for the user the full access to the ensemble of model states. Thus, user-controlled pre- and post-step operations can be performed.  For example the forecast and the analysis states and ensemble covariance matrix can be analyzed, e.g. by computing the estimated variances. In addition, the estimates can be written to disk.

If the smoother is used, also the smoothed ensembles can be analyzed. In addition, the estimates can be written to disk.

    166166Hint:
    167167 * If a user considers to perform adjustments to the estimates (e.g. for balances), this routine is the right place for it.
    168168 * Only for the SEEK filter the state vector (`state_p`) is initialized. For all other filters, the array is allocated, but it can be used freely during the execution of `U_prepoststep`.
     169 * The interface through which `U_prepoststep` is called does not include the array of smoothed ensembles. In order to access the smoother ensemble array one has to set a pointer to it using a call to the routine `PDAF_get_smootherens` (see page on [AuxiliaryRoutines auxiliary routines])
