+This page documents the routine `PDAFomi_set_dim_obs_l` of PDAF-OMI.
+
+This routine is used for the case that a user implements a user-provided alternative for the routine `PDAFomi_init_dim_obs_l`, which initializes the local observation information for PDAF-OMI in `thisobs_l` for a single local analysis domain.
+
+The routine can to be called in `init_dim_obs_l_OBSTYPE` in each observation module if a domain-localized filter (LESTKF/LETKF/LNETF/LSEIK/LKNETF)is used. 
+
+|| See the [wiki:OMI_search_local_observations page on user-provided initialization of local observations] for the full description of a user-provided routine to intialize local observations. ||
+
+The interface is:
+{{{
+  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_store_obs_l_index(thisobs_l, idx, id_obs_l, distance, &
+       cradius_l, sradius_l)
+
+    TYPE(obs_l), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs_l  ! Data type with local observation
+    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: idx               ! Element of local observation array to be filled
+    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: id_obs_l          ! Index of local observation in full observation array
+    REAL, INTENT(in) :: distance             ! Distance between local analysis domain and observation
+    REAL, INTENT(in) :: cradius_l            ! cut-off radius for this local observation 
+                                             !  (directional radius in case of non-isotropic localization)
+    REAL, INTENT(in) :: sradius_l            ! support radius for this local observation
+                                             !  (directional radius in case of non-isotropic localization)

+'''Notes:'''
+ * `idx` is usually the counte over the valid local observation of the observation type in the observation module
+ * `cradius_l` and `sradius_l` are usually the same for all local obsevations of a single type if the localization is isotropic
+ * While using this routine can be more convenient than doing the initialization of the variables in `thisobs_l` in the user code, in our tests the code ran faster when we did not use this routine, but did this initialization in the user code.
