pyPDAF.assim_offline_3dvar_nondiagr

pyPDAF.assim_offline_3dvar_nondiagr()

Offline 3DVar DA for a single DA step using non-diagnoal observation error covariance matrix.

See pyPDAF.PDAF3.assim_offline_3dvar_all() for diagonal observation error covariance matrix.

When 3DVar is used, the background error covariance matrix has to be modelled for cotrol variable transformation. This is a deterministic filtering scheme so no ensemble and parallelisation is needed. This function should be called at each model time step.
