PDAFomi_set_disttype

This page documents the routine PDAFomi_set_disttype of PDAF. The routine was introduced by PDAF version 2.3.1.

The routine sets thisobs%disttype. It avoids to directly initialize elements of the data type 'thisobs' in the code, which can be problematic in some programming languages.

For details on 'use_global_obs' see PDAFomi_additional_functionality

The interface is:

  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_disttype(disttype)

    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: disttype           ! Type of distance calculation

Note:

• When using Fortran, one can also initialize thisobs%disttype directly
• To be able to use use_global_obs=0 one has to intialize the process domain limites using PDAFomi_set_domain_limits or PDAFomi_set_domains_limits_unstr; see PDAFomi_additional_functionality
