+The page document the user-supplied call-back routine `cvt_ens_pdaf`.
+
+The routine `cvt_ens_pdaf` (`U_cvt_ens` inside PDAF) is a call-back routine that has to be provided by the user. In the simplified interface the predefined name of the routine is `cvt_ens_pdaf`, but in the full interface, the user can choose the name of the routine.
+
+The routine is used with the 3D Ensemble Var and hybrid 3D-Var methods.
+
+The routine is called during the iterative optimization. It has to perform the control vector transform (preconditioning) which is usually a multiplication with the square-root of the background covariance matrix '''B'''. The routine is provided with a control vector and has to return a state vector. The routine allows a user to implement the control vector transform in oeprational form and it gives the user access to the state ensemble.
+
+The interface is the following:
+{{{
+SUBROUTINE cvt_ens_pdaf(iter, dim_p, dim_ens, dim_cv_ens_p, ens_p, cv_p, Vcv_p)
+
+  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: iter               ! Iteration of optimization
+  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_p              ! PE-local observation dimension
+  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_ens            ! Ensemble size
+  INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: dim_cv_ens_p       ! Dimension of control vector
+  REAL, INTENT(in) :: ens_p(dim_p, dim_ens) ! PE-local ensemble
+  REAL, INTENT(in) :: cv_p(dim_cv_ens_p)    ! PE-local control vector
+  REAL, INTENT(inout) :: Vcv_p(dim_p)       ! PE-local state increment
+}}}
+
+
+Hints
+ * If the state vector is decomposed in case of parallelization one needs to take care that the application of the trasformation is complete. This usually requries a comminucation with MPI_Allreduce to obtain a global sun.
