| | 3 | This page documents the routine `PDAF_force_analysis` of PDAF. The routine was introduced with PDAF 2.0. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The routine allows a user to enforce the execution of the analysis step at the next call to `PDAF_put_state_X` or `PDAF_assimilate_X`. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | In particular for `PDAF_assimilate_X`, the number of time steps is set before the forecast phase is entered. However, one might not know the actual length of the forecast time, e.g. the time when new observation arrive. In this case, one can set for number of time steps to a large value and then check for new observations during the time stepping and call `PDAF_force_analysis` just before `PDAF_assimilate_X` is called to enforce that the analysis step is executed. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | For `PDAF_put_state_X`, one can use `PDAF_force_analysis` to overwrite the counting of the ensemble members that PDAF does internally. |
