  1. PDAF is attached to the model source code by minimal changes to the code. These changes only concern the general part of the code, but not the numerics of it. 
  1. PDAF is called through a well-defined standard interface. This allows, for example, to switch between the LSEIK and LETKF methods without additional coding. In addition, different observational data sets can be used within a single executable.
- 1. PDAF provides parallelization support for the data assimilation system. Of your numerical model is already parallelized, PDAF enables the data assimilation system to run several model tasks in parallel within a single executable.
+ 1. PDAF provides parallelization support for the data assimilation system. If your numerical model is already parallelized, PDAF enables the data assimilation system to run several model tasks in parallel within a single executable. However, PDAF can also be used without parallelization, for example to test small systems.
 
 This Wiki contains a growing documentation for PDAF. We will also add a possibility to register and download PDAF.
