Running TSMP-PDAF

The execution of TSMP-PDAF and the necessary input is closely related to the one of TSMP. For executing TSMP, a ParFlow database file *.pfidb (see ParFlow documentation for more details), an input file for CLM (lnd.stdin) and several input files for OASIS-MCT and COSMO need to be present in the run directory. TSMP-PDAF follows a similar approach. The only difference is that for each realisation a different set of ParFlow/ CLM/ COSMO input files needs to be present which follow a certain naming convention (see Sections Input files for CLM, Input files for ParFlow and Input files for COSMO). Additionally, a control file for the data assimilation (Control file enkfpf.par) and observation files (Observation files) need to be present in the run directory. Furthermore, some command line options (Command line options) need to be specified when TSMP-PDAF is executed.
