+
+This page documents the routine `PDAFomi_generate_obs` of PDAF. The routine is used to generate synthetic observations with PDAF-OMI
+
+The routine is typically called in `assimilate_pdaf` or directly in the model code.
+
+This routine is used to generate synthetic observations. It bases on the usual implementation strategy for PDAF which is 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 `PDAFomi_put_state_generate_obs' is used. 
+
+The interface is the following:
+{{{
+  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_generate_obs(U_collect_state, U_distribute_state, &
+                                  U_init_dim_obs_pdafomi, U_obs_op_pdafomi, U_get_obs_f, &
+                                  U_prepoststep, U_next_observation, status_pdaf)
+}}}
+with the following arguments:
+ * `U_collect_state`: 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 [ModifyModelforEnsembleIntegration#PDAF_get_state PDAF_get_state]
+ * `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_get_obs_f`: The name of the user-supplied routine that receives the full vector of generated synthetic observations from PDAF
+ * `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_pdaf`: The integer status flag. It is zero, if `PDAF_generate_obs` is exited without errors.
+
+The user-supplied call-back routines are described on the page on [ImplementGenerateObs implementing the generation of synthetic observations].
+
+It is recommended that the value of `status_pdaf` is checked in the program after PDAF_generate_obs is executed. Only if its value is 0 the initialization was successful.
+
+PDAF also has a [PdafSimplifiedInterface Simplified Interface] providing the routine [wiki:PDAFomi_generate_obs_si PDAFomi_generate_obs_si]. In the simplified interface, the name of the user-supplied routines have predefined names and do not appear in the call to `PDAFomi_generate_obs_si`.
