Computes the weight with which an observation should impact a state variable that is separated by a given distance. The distance is in units determined by the location module being used.

Returns a weighting factor for observation and a target variable (state or observation) separated by distance z_in and with a half-width distance, c. Three options are provided and controlled by a namelist parameter. The optional argument localization_override controls the type of localization function if present. The optional arguments obs_loc, obs_kind and target_loc, target_kind are not used in the default code. They are made availabe for users who may want to design more sophisticated localization functions.
comp_cov_factor | Weighting factor. |
z_in | The distance between observation and target. |
c | Factor that describes localization funtion. Describes half-with of func tions used here. |
obs_loc | Location of the observation. |
obs_kind | Observation kind. |
target_loc | Location of target. |
target_kind | Kind of target. |
localization_override | Controls localization type if present. Same values as for namelist cont rol. |
We adhere to the F90 standard of starting a namelist with an ampersand '&' and terminating with a slash '/'.

Contents | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
select_localization | integer | Selects the localization function. 1 = Gaspari-Cohn 5th order polynomial with halfwidth c. 2 = Boxcar with halfwidth c (goes to 0 for z_in > 2c). 3 = ramped boxcar. Has value 1 for z_in < c and then reduces linearly to 0 at z_in = 2c. |
Routine | Message | Comment |
---|---|---|
comp_cov_factor | Illegal value of "select_localization" in cov_cutoff_mod namelist | Only values 1 through 3 select a localization function. |
