+This page documents the routine `PDAF_assimilate_global` of PDAF. The routine is used to execute the analysis step of all global ensemble filters (including the NETF and PF) with PDAF-OMI.
+
+The routine is typically called in `assimilate_pdaf` or directly in the model code.
+
+The general aspects of the filter specific routines `PDAFomi_assimilate_*` are described on the page [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration Modification of the model code for the ensemble integration] and its sub-page on [InsertAnalysisStep inserting the analysis step]. The routine is used in the fully-parallel implementation variant of the data assimilation system. When the 'flexible' implementation variant, the routine [wiki:PDAomi_put_state_global PDAomi_put_state_global] is used. 
+
+Here, we list the full interface of the routine. 
+
+The interface for using the global filters is:
+{{{
+  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_assimilate_global(U_collect_state, U_distribute_state, &
+                                 U_init_dim_obs_pdafomi, U_obs_op_pdafomi, &
+                                 U_prepoststep, U_next_observation, status)
+}}}
+with the following arguments:
+ * `U_collect_statea: The name of the user-supplied routine that initializes a state vector from the array holding the ensemble of model states from the model fields. This is basically the inverse operation to `U_distribute_state` used in `PDAF_get_state` as well as here. 
+ * `U_distribute_state`:  The name of a user supplied routine that initializes the model fields from the array holding the ensemble of model state vectors.
+ * `U_init_dim_obs_pdafomi`: The name of the user-supplied routine that initializes the observation information and provides the size of observation vector
+ * `U_obs_op_pdafomi`: The name of the user-supplied routine that acts as the observation operator on some state vector
+ * `U_prepoststep`: The name of the pre/poststep routine as in `PDAF_get_state`
+ * `U_next_observation`: The name of a user supplied routine that initializes the variables `nsteps`, `timenow`, and `doexit`. The same routine is also used in `PDAF_get_state`.
+ * `status`: The integer status flag. It is zero, if `PDAFomi_assimilate_global` is exited without errors.
+
+The user-supplied call-back routines are described on the page on [ImplementAnalysisGlobal implementing the analysis step of the global filters].
+
+It is recommended that the value of `status_pdaf` is checked in the program after PDAFomi_assimilate_global is executed. Only if its value is 0 the initialization was successful.
+
+PDAF also has a [PdafSimplifiedInterface Simplified Interface] providing the routine `PDAFomi_assimilate_global_si`. In the simplified interface, the name of the user-supplied routines have predefined names and do not appear in the call to `PDAFomi_assimilate_global_si`.  More information on the pre-defined names is provided in the [ImplementAnalysisglobal page on implementing the analysis step of the global filters].
