 PDAF provides several filter algorithms. Here, we provide some guidance about which filter algorithm one should use.

 The choice whether a global filter like ESTKF or a local formulation as LESTKF is used depends on the problem that is simulated. If the model represents large scale features, the global filter should be a good choice. If the model fields represent many small scale features, the local filter is required. Also the availability of observations influences that choice. If only a very small number of observations is available, it might be better to use the global filter. In contrast, spatially resolved observations, like surface temperature fields of the ocean detected by satellites, call for the local filter.
