pyPDAF.PDAF.omi_put_state_generate_obs

pyPDAF.PDAF.omi_put_state_generate_obs()

Generation of synthetic observations based on given error statistics and observation operator for diagonal observation error covariance matrix without post-processing, distributing analysis, and setting next observation step.

If non-diagonal observation error covariance matrix has to be used, the generic pyPDAF.PDAF.put_generate_obs() can be used.

The generated synthetic observations are based on each member of model forecast. Therefore, an ensemble of observations can be obtained. In a typical experiment, one may only need one ensemble member.

Compared to pyPDAF.PDAF.omi_generate_obs(), this function has no get_state() call. This means that the next DA step will not be assigned by user-supplied functions. This function is typically used when there are not enough CPUs to run the ensemble in parallel, and some ensemble members have to be run serially. The pyPDAF.PDAF.get_state() function follows this function call to ensure the sequential DA.

The implementation strategy is similar to an assimilation step. This means that, one can reuse many user-supplied functions for assimilation and observation generation.

User-supplied functions are executed in the following sequence:

  1. py__collect_state_pdaf

  2. py__prepoststep_state_pdaf

  3. py__init_dim_obs_pdaf

  4. py__obs_op_pda

  5. py__get_obs_f_pdaf

Parameters:

  • py__collect_state_pdaf (Callable[dim_p:int, state_p : ndarray[tuple[dim_p], np.float64]]) –

    Collect state vector from model/any arrays to pdaf arrays

    Callback Parameters
    • dim_pint

      • pe-local state dimension

    • state_pndarray[tuple[dim_p], np.float64]

      • local state vector

    Callback Returns
    • state_pndarray[tuple[dim_p], np.float64]

      • local state vector

  • py__init_dim_obs_pdaf (Callable[step:int, dim_obs_p:int]) –

    The primary purpose of this function is to obtain the dimension of the observation vector. In OMI, in this function, one also sets the properties of obs_f, read the observation vector from files, setting the observation error variance when diagonal observation error covariance matrix is used. The pyPDAF.PDAF.omi_gather_obs function is also called here.
