PDAFomi_set_inno_omit_ivar

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

The routine sets thisobs%inno_omit_ivar. 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 'thisobs%inno_omit_ivar' see the description on omitting observations that are potential outliers.

The interface is:

  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_inno_omit_ivar(thisobs, inno_omit_ivar)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs    ! Observation type
    REAL, INTENT(in) :: inno_omit_ivar       ! Inverse variance set for omitted observations 
                                             !   this should be much smaller that the actual inverse observation error variance

Note:

• When using Fortran, one can also initialize thisobs%inno_omit_ivar directly
