-This page contains the implementation guide for the online mode of PDAF in which the numerical model is coupled with PDAF into a single program. The [OfflineImplementationGuide implementation guide for the offline mode], in which separate programs for model integrations and assimilation step are executed, is provided on a separate page. The differences between the online and offline modes is described on the page on the [GeneralImplementationConcept Implementation concept of PDAF].

 For applied concrete examples on the implementation of a data assimilation system with PDAF, we recommend to first see our [PdafTutorial implementation tutorials]. The implementation guide here will then give a more complete, but also more abstract, guide for all options.

-Several routines that contain model and observation specific operations are called as call-back routines 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.

 An overview of the available options for each filter that can be specified when PDAF is initialized is given on the [wiki:AvailableOptionsforInitPDAF overview page on options].
