| 3 | This page documents the routine `PDAF_gather_dim_obs_f` of PDAF, which was introduced with PDAF V1.13. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | In the local filters (LESKTF, LETKF, LSEIK, LNETF) this routine gathers the total observation dimension from process-local observation dimensions and returns this dimension. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The routine has to be called once before using any of the routines [wiki:PDAF_gather_obs_f] or [wiki:PDAF_gather_obs_f2]. This is because it stores the information on the process-local observation dimensions to enable the gathering operations in the two other routines. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The routine is typically used in the routine `init_dim_obs_f` if the analysis step of the local filters is parallelized. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The interface is the following: |
| 13 | {{{ |
| 14 | SUBROUTINE PDAF_gather_dim_obs_f(dim_obs_p, dim_obs_f) |
| 15 | }}} |
| 16 | with the following arguments: |
| 17 | * `dim_obs_p` : `integer, intent(in)`[[BR]] Process-local dimension of state vector |
| 18 | * `dim_obs_f` : `integer, intent(out)`[[BR]] Full dimension of state vector |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Notes: |
| 21 | * It is allowed to compute `PDAF_gather_dim_obs_f` multiple times. However, the calls to `PDAF_gather_obs_f` and `PDAF_gather_obs_f2` will use the dimensions defined in the most recent call to `PDAF_gather_dim_obs_f` |
