 The internal structure of PDAF is organized into a generic part providing the infrastructure to perform ensemble forecasts and filter analysis steps. The generic part is independent of the particular filter algorithm and only distinguishes between ensemble based filters (all filters except SEEK) and mode based filters (currently only SEEK). The filter-specific routines are called through an internal interface.
 
-Each filter algorithm consists of a minimum of 6 routines. All routines are called trough the internal interface of PDAF, except for the "put state" routine (`PDAF_put_state_X` where X is the name of the selected filter).
