The Parallel Data Assimilation Framework - PDAF - is a software environment for data assimilation. PDAF simplifies the implementation of the data assimilation system with existing numerical models. With this, users can obtain a data assimilation system with less work and can focus on applying data assimilation developed by AWI.

The software is open-source under GNU LGPL3 license agreement.
