45 This set of commands is related to the description of a checking case, that is a
46 procedure to check required properties on information, used somewhere else by a
47 calculation case. The terms are ordered in alphabetical order, except the first,
48 which describes the choice between calculation or checking.
50 The different commands are the following:
53 *Required command*. This is the general command describing the checking
54 case. It hierarchically contains all the other commands.
57 *Required command*. This indicates the checking algorithm chosen by the
58 keyword "*Algorithm*", and its potential optional parameters. The algorithm
59 choices are available through the GUI. There exists for example
60 "FunctionTest", "GradientTest"... Each algorithm is defined, below, by a
61 specific subsection. Optionaly, the command allows also to add some
62 parameters to control the algorithm. Their values are defined either
63 explicitly or in a "*Dict*" type object. See the
64 :ref:`section_ref_options_Algorithm_Parameters` for the detailed use of this
68 *Required command*. This indicates the vector used as the state around which
69 to perform the required check, noted :math:`\mathbf{x}` and similar to the
70 background :math:`\mathbf{x}^b`. It is defined as a "*Vector*" type object.
73 *Required command*. This indicates the background error covariance matrix,
74 previously noted as :math:`\mathbf{B}`. Its value is defined as a "*Matrix*"
75 type object, a "*ScalarSparseMatrix*" type object, or a
76 "*DiagonalSparseMatrix*" type object.
79 *Optional command*. This define the level of trace and intermediary debug
80 information. The choices are limited between 0 (for False) and 1 (for
84 *Required command*. This indicates the observation vector used for data
85 assimilation or optimization, previously noted as :math:`\mathbf{y}^o`. It
86 is defined as a "*Vector*" or a *VectorSerie* type object.
89 *Required command*. This indicates the observation error covariance matrix,
90 previously noted as :math:`\mathbf{R}`. It is defined as a "*Matrix*" type
91 object, a "*ScalarSparseMatrix*" type object, or a "*DiagonalSparseMatrix*"
95 *Required command*. This indicates the observation operator, previously
96 noted :math:`H`, which transforms the input parameters :math:`\mathbf{x}` to
97 results :math:`\mathbf{y}` to be compared to observations
98 :math:`\mathbf{y}^o`. Its value is defined as a "*Function*" type object or
99 a "*Matrix*" type one. In the case of "*Function*" type, different
100 functional forms can be used, as described in the section
101 :ref:`section_ref_operator_requirements`. If there is some control :math:`U`
102 included in the observation, the operator has to be applied to a pair
106 *Optional command*. This command allows to set internal observers, that are
107 functions linked with a particular variable, which will be executed each
108 time this variable is modified. It is a convenient way to monitor variables
109 of interest during the data assimilation or optimization process, by
110 printing or plotting it, etc. Common templates are provided to help the user
111 to start or to quickly make his case.
114 *Required command*. This is an open string to describe the ADAO study by a
118 *Optional command*. If available, this directory is used as base name for
119 calculation, and used to find all the script files, given by name without
120 path, that can be used to define some other commands by scripts.
123 *Optional command*. This commands allows to initialize some parameters or
124 data automatically before algorithm input processing. It indicates a script
125 file name to be executed before entering in initialization phase of chosen
