     32The LNETF algorithm was added with version 1.12 of PDAF.
     33
     34== Overview ==
     35
     36For the analysis step of the LNETF algorithm, several operations related to the observations are needed. These operations are requested by PDAF by calling user-supplied routines. Intentionally, the operations are split into separate routines in order to keep the operations rather elementary as this procedure should simplify the implementation. The names of the required routines are specified in the call to the routine `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf` in the fully-parallel implementation (or `PDAF_put_state_lnetf` for the 'flexible' implementation) described below. With regard to the parallelization, all these routines (except `U_collect_state`) are executed by the filter processes (`filterpe=.true.`) only.
     37
     38For completeness we discuss here all user-supplied routines that are specified in the interface to `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf`. Many of the routines are localized versions of those that are needed for the global NETF method. Hence, if the user-supplied routines for the global NETF method have been already implemented, one can base on these routines to speed up the implementation. Due to this, it can also be reasonable to first fully implement a global filter version and subsequently implement the corresponding localized filter by modifying and extending the global routines.
     39
     40The analysis step of the LNETF is is wide parts similar to that of the LETKF, LESTKF, and LSEIK filter.
     41The LSEIK filter and the LETKF (Local 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 LNETF and the LETKF with the exception of the routine U_likelihood_l.
     42
     43
     44== `PDAF_put_state_lnetf` ==
     45
     46The 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].
     47The interface for the routine `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf` contains several routine names for routines that operate on the local analysis domains (marked by `_l` at the end of the routine name). In addition, there are names for routines that consider all available observations required to perform local analyses with LNETF within some sub-domain of a domain-decomposed model (marked by `_f` at the end of the routine name). In case of a serial execution of the assimilation program, these will be all globally available observations. However, if the program is executed with parallelization, this might be a smaller set of observations.
     48
     49To explain the  difference, it is assumed, for simplicity, that a local analysis domain consists of a single vertical column of the model grid. In addition, we assume that the domain decomposition splits the global model domain by vertical boundaries as is typical for ocean models and that the observations are spatially distributed observations of model fields that are part of the state vector.  Under these assumptions, the situation is the following: When a model uses domain decomposition, the LNETF algorithm is executed such that for each model sub-domain a loop over all local analysis domains (e.g. vertical columns) that belong to the model sub-domain is performed. As each model sub-domain is treated by a different process, all loops are executed parallel to each other.
     50
     51For the update of each single vertical column, observations from some larger domain surrounding the vertical column are required. If the influence radius for the observations is sufficiently small there will be vertical columns for which the relevant observations reside completely inside the model sub-domain of the process. However, if a vertical column is considered that is located close to the boundary of the model sub-domain, there will be some observations that don't belong spatially to the local model sub-domain, but to a neighboring model sub-domain. Nonetheless, these observations are required on the local model sub-domain. A simple way to handle this situation is to initialize for each process all globally available observations, together with their coordinates. While this method is simple, it can also become inefficient if the assimilation program is executed using a large number of processes. As for an initial implementation it is usually not the concern to obtain the highest parallel efficiency, the description below assumes that 'full' refers to the global model domain.
     52
     53The interface when using the LNETF algorithm is the following:
     54{{{
     55  SUBROUTINE PDAF_assimilate_lnetf(U_collect_state, U_distribute_state, U_init_dim_obs_f, U_obs_op_f, &

     78
     79Note:
     80 * The order of the routine names does not show the order in which these routines are executed. See the [#Executionorderofuser-suppliedroutines section on the order of the execution] at the bottom of this page.
     81
     82
     83== `PDAF_put_state_lnetf` ==
     84
     85When the 'flexible' implementation variant is chosen for the assimilation system, the routine `PDAF_put_state_lnetf` has to be used instead of `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf`. The general aspects of the filter specific routines `PDAF_put_state_*` have been described on the page [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration Modification of the model code for the ensemble integration]. The interface of the routine is identical with that of `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf` with the exception the specification of the user-supplied routines `U_distribute_state` and `U_next_observation` are missing.
     86
     87The interface when using the LNETF algorithm is the following:
     88{{{
     89  SUBROUTINE PDAF_put_state_lnetf(U_collect_state, U_init_dim_obs_f, U_obs_op_f, U_init_obs_f, &

     92                                  U_g2l_state, U_l2g_state, U_g2l_obs, &
     93                                  status)
     94}}}
     95
     96
     97== User-supplied routines ==
     98
     99Here, all user-supplied routines are described that are required in the call to `PDAF_assimilate_lnetf`. For some of the generic routines, we link to the page on [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration modifying the model code for the ensemble integration].
     100
     101To 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.
     102
     103In the subroutine interfaces some variables appear with the suffix `_p` (short for 'process'). This suffix indicates that the variable is particular to a model sub-domain, if a domain decomposed model is used. Thus, the value(s) in the variable will be different for different model sub-domains. In addition, there will be variables with the suffix `_f` (for 'full') and with the suffix `_l` (for 'local').
     104
     105=== `U_collect_state` (collect_state_pdaf.F90) ===
     106
     107This routine is independent from the filter algorithm used.
     108See the mape on [InsertAnalysisStep#U_collect_statecollect_state_pdaf.F90 inserting the analysis step] for the description of this routine.
     109
     110=== `U_distribute_state` (distribute_state_pdaf.F90) ===
     111
     112This routine is independent of the filter algorithm used.
     113See the page on [InsertAnalysisStep#U_distribute_statedistribute_state_pdaf.F90 inserting the analysis step] for the description of this routine.
     114
     115
     116=== `U_init_dim_obs_f` (init_dim_obs_f_pdaf.F90) ===
     117
     118This routine is used by all filter algorithms with domain-localization (LESTKF, LETKF, LSEIK, LNETF) and is independent of the particular algorithm.
     119
     120The interface for this routine is:
     121{{{
     122SUBROUTINE init_dim_obs_f(step, dim_obs_f)
     123
     124  INTEGER, INTENT(in)  :: step       ! Current time step
     125  INTEGER, INTENT(out) :: dim_obs_f  ! Dimension of full observation vector
     126}}}
     127
     128The routine is called at the beginning of each analysis step, before the loop over all local analysis domains is entered.  It has to initialize the size `dim_obs_f` of the full observation vector according to the current time step. For simplicity, `dim_obs_f` can be the size for the global model domain.
     129
     130Some hints:
     131 * It can be useful to not only determine the size of the observation vector at this point. One can also already gather information about the location of the observations, which can be used later, e.g. to implement the observation operator. In addition, one can already prepare an array that holds the full observation vector. This can be used later by `U_init_obs_l` to initialize a local vector of observations by selecting the relevant parts of the full observation vector. The required arrays can be defined in a module like `mod_assimilation`.
     132 * The routine is similar to `init_dim_obs` used in the global filters. However, if the global filter is used with a domain-decomposed model, it only initializes the size of the observation vector for the local model sub-domain. This is different for the local filters, as the local analysis also requires observational data from neighboring model sub-domains. Nonetheless, one can base on an implemented routine `init_dim_obs` to implement `init_dim_obs_f`.
     133
     134=== `U_obs_op_f` (obs_op_f_pdaf.F90) ===
     135
     136This routine is used by all filter algorithms with domain-localization (LESTKF, LETKF, LSEIK, LNETF) and is independent of the particular algorithm.
     137
     138The interface for this routine is:
     139{{{
     140SUBROUTINE obs_op_f(step, dim_p, dim_obs_f, state_p, m_state_f)
     141
     142  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step               ! Current time step
     143  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_p              ! PE-local dimension of state
     144  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_f          ! Dimension of the full observed state
     145  REAL, INTENT(in)    :: state_p(dim_p)     ! PE-local model state
     146  REAL, INTENT(out) :: m_state_f(dim_obs_f) ! Full observed state
     147}}}
     148
     149The routine is called during the analysis step, before the loop over the local analysis domain is entered. It has to perform the operation of the observation operator acting on a state vector, which is provided as `state_p`. The observed state has to be returned in `m_state_f`. It is the observed state corresponding to the 'full' observation vector.
     150
     151Hint:
     152 * The routine is similar to `init_dim_obs` used for the global filters. However, with a domain-decomposed model `m_state_f` will contain parts of the state vector from neighboring model sub-domains. To make these parts accessible, some parallel communication will be necessary (The state information for a neighboring model sub-domain, will be in the memory of the process that handles that sub-domain). The example implementation in `testsuite/dummymodel_1d` uses the function `MPI_AllGatherV` for this communication.
     153
     154=== `U_init_obs_f` (init_obs_f_pdaf.F90) ===
     155
     156This routine is used by all filter algorithms with domain-localization (LESTKF, LETKF, LSEIK, LNETF) and is independent of the particular algorithm.
     157The routine is only called if the globally adaptive forgetting factor is used (`type_forget=1` in the example implementation). For the local filters there is also the alternative to use locally adaptive forgetting factors (`type_forget=2` in the example implementation)
     158
     159The interface for this routine is:
     160{{{
     161SUBROUTINE init_obs_f(step, dim_obs_f, observation_f)
     162
     163  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step                     ! Current time step
     164  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_f                ! Dimension of full observation vector
     165  REAL, INTENT(out)   :: observation_f(dim_obs_f) ! Full observation vector
     166}}}
     167
     168The routine is called during the analysis step before the loop over the local analysis domains is entered. It has to provide the full vector of observations in `observation_f` for the current time step. The caller is the routine that computes an adaptive forgetting factor (PDAF_set_forget).
     169
     170Hints:
     171 * As for the other 'full' routines: While the global counterpart of this routine (`init_obs`) has to initialize the observation vector only for the local model sub-domain, the 'full' routine has to include observations that spatially belong to neighboring model sub-domains. As an easy choice one can simply initialize a vector of all globally available observations.
     172 * If the adaptive forgetting factor is not used, this routine only has to exist. However, no functionality is required.
     173
     174
     175=== `U_init_obs_l` (init_obs_l_pdaf.F90) ===
     176
     177This routine is used by all filter algorithms with domain-localization (LESTKF, LETKF, LSEIK, LNETF) and is independent of the particular algorithm.
     178
     179The interface for this routine is:
     180{{{
     181SUBROUTINE init_obs_l(domain_p, step, dim_obs_l, observation_l)
     182
     183  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: domain_p                 ! Current local analysis domain
     184  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step                     ! Current time step
     185  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_l                ! Local dimension of observation vector
     186  REAL, INTENT(out)   :: observation_l(dim_obs_l) ! Local observation vector
     187}}}
     188
     189The routine is called during the analysis step during the loop over the local analysis domain.
     190It has to provide the vector of observations for the analysis in the local analysis domain with index `domain_p` in `observation_l` for the current time step.
     191
     192Hints:
     193 * For parallel efficiency, the LNETF algorithm is implemented in a way that first the full vectors are initialized. These are then restricted to the local analysis domain during the loop over all local analysis domains. Thus, if the full vector of observations has been initialized before `U_init_obs_l` is executed (e.g. by `U_init_dim_obs_f`), the operations performed in this routine will be to select the part of the full observation vector that is relevant for the current local analysis domain.
     194 * The routine `U_init_dim_obs_l` is executed before this routine. Thus, if that routine already prepares the information which elements of `observation_f` are needed for `observation_l`, this information can be used efficiently here.
     195
     196
     197=== `U_prepoststep` (prepoststep_ens_pdaf.F90) ===
     198
     199This routine can generally be identical to that used for the global LESTKF/ESTKF methods, which has already been described on the [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration#U_prepoststepprepoststep_ens_pdaf.F90 page on modifying the model code for the ensemble integration]. For completeness, the description is repeated:
     200
     201The interface of the routine is identical for all filters. However, the particular operations that are performed in the routine can be specific for each filter algorithm. Here, we exemplify the interface on the example of the NETF.
     202
     203The interface for this routine is
     204{{{
     205SUBROUTINE prepoststep(step, dim_p, dim_ens, dim_ens_p, dim_obs_p, &
     206                       state_p, Uinv, ens_p, flag)
     207
     208  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: step        ! Current time step
     209                         ! (When the routine is called before the analysis -step is provided.)
     210  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_p       ! PE-local state dimension
     211  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_ens     ! Size of state ensemble
     212  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_ens_p   ! PE-local size of ensemble
     213  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_obs_p   ! PE-local dimension of observation vector
     214  REAL, INTENT(inout) :: state_p(dim_p) ! PE-local forecast/analysis state
     215                                     ! The array 'state_p' is not generally not initialized in the case of SEIK/EnKF/ETKF/NETF.
     216                                     ! It can be used freely in this routine.
     217  REAL, INTENT(inout) :: Uinv(dim_ens, dim_ens)  ! Inverse of matrix U
     218  REAL, INTENT(inout) :: ens_p(dim_p, dim_ens)   ! PE-local state ensemble
     219  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: flag        ! PDAF status flag
     220}}}
     221
     222The 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`).
     223
     224The 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.
     225
     226Hint:
     227 * If a user considers to perform adjustments to the estimates (e.g. for balances), this routine is the right place for it.
     228 * 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`.
     229 * The interface has a difference for NETF/ETKF and SEIK: For the NETF/ETKF, the array `Uinv` has size `dim_ens` x `dim_ens`. In contrast it has size `dim_ens-1` x `dim_ens-1` for the SEIK filter.
     230 * 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])
     231
     232
     233
     234=== `U_likelihood_l` (likelihood_l_pdaf.F90) ===
     235
     236This routine is used by the LNETF only.
     237
     238The interface for this routine is:

     250The routine is called during the loop over the local analysis domains. In the NETF, as in other particle filters, the likelihood of the local observations has to be computed for each ensemble member. The likelihood is computed from the observation-state residual according to the assumed observation error distribution. Commonly, the observation errors are assumed to be Gaussian distributed. In this case, the likelihood is '''exp(-0.5*(y-Hx)^T^*R^-1^*(y-Hx))'''.
     251
     252This routine is also the place to perform observation localization. To initialize a vector of weights, the routine `PDAF_local_weight` can be called. The procedure is used in the example implementation and also demonstrated in the template routine.
     253
     254Hints:
     255 * The routine is a local variant of the routine `U_likelihood`. Thus if that routine has been implemented before, it can be adapted here for the local filter.
     256 * The routine is very similar to the routine [wiki:U_prodRinvA_l]. The main addition is the computation of the likelihood after computing '''R^-1^*(y-Hx)''', which corresponds to '''R^-1^*A_p''' in [wiki:U_prodRinvA_l].
     257 * The information about the inverse observation error covariance matrix has to be provided by the user. Possibilities are to read this information from a file, or to use a Fortran module that holds this information, which one could already prepare in init_pdaf.
     258 * The routine does not require that the product is implemented as a real matrix-vector 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 inverse diagonal with the vector `resid` has to be implemented.
     259 * The observation vector `obs_l` is provided through the interface for cases where the observation error variance is relative to the actual value of the observations.

     273
     274The routine is called during the analysis step before the loop over the local analysis domains is entered.
     275It has to provide the number of local analysis domains. In case of a domain-decomposed model the number of local analysis domain for the model sub-domain of the calling process has to be initialized.
     276
     277Hints:
     278 * As a simple case, if the localization is only performed horizontally, the local analysis domains can be single vertical columns of the model grid. In this case, `n_domains_p` is simply the number of vertical columns in the local model sub-domain.

     296
     297Hints:

     314
     315The routine is called during the loop over the local analysis domains in the analysis step.
     316It has to initialize in `dim_obs_l` the size of the observation vector used for the local analysis domain with index `domain_p`.
     317
     318Some hints:
     319 * Usually, the observations to be considered for a local analysis are those which reside within some distance from the local analysis domain. Thus, if the local analysis domain is a single vertical column of the model grid and if the model grid is a regular ij-grid, then one could use some range of i/j indices to select the observations and determine the local number of them. More generally, one can compute the physical distance of an observation from the local analysis domain and decide on this basis, if the observation has to be considered.
     320 * In the loop over the local analysis domains, the routine is always called before `U_init_obs_l` is executed. Thus, as `U_init_dim_obs_local` has to check which observations should be used for the local analysis domain, one can already initialize an integer array that stores the index of observations to be considered. This index should be the position of the observation in the array `observation_f`. With this, the initialization of the local observation vector in `U_init_obs_l` can be sped up.
     321 * For PDAF, we could not join the routines `U_init_dim_obs_l` and `U_init_obs_l`, because the array for the local observations is allocated internally to PDAF after its size has been determined in `U_init_dim_obs_l`.

     341
     342Hints:
     343 * In the simple case that a local analysis domain is a single vertical column of the model grid, the operation in this routine would be to take out of `state_p` the data for the vertical column indexed by `domain_p`.

     384The routine is called during the loop over the local analysis domains in the analysis step. It has to provide a local observation vector `mstate_l` for the observation domain that corresponds to the local analysis domain with index `domain_p`. Provided to the routine is the full observation vector `mstate_f` from which the local part has to be extracted.
     385
     386Hints:
     387 * The  vector `mstate_f` that is provided to the routine is one of the observed state vectors that are produced by `U_obs_op_full`.
     388 * Some operations performed here are analogous to those required to initialize a local vector of observations in `U_init_obs_l`. If that routine reads first a full vector of observations (e.g. in `U_init_dim_obs_f`), this vector has to be restricted to the relevant observations for the current local analysis domain. For this operation, one can for example initialize an index array when `U_init_dim_obs_l` is executed. (Which happens before `U_global2local_obs`)

     397
     398The user-supplied routines are executed in the order listed below. The order can be important as some routines can perform preparatory work for routines executed later on during the analysis.

Some hints one the efficient implementation strategy are given with the descriptions of the routine interfaces above.
