# Tutorial 1: The assimilation step
DART-WRF is a python package which automates many things like configuration, saving configuration and output, handling computing resources, etc.

### Configuring the experiment
Firstly, you need to configure the experiment in `config/cfg.py`.
Let's go through the most important settings:
```python
exp = utils.Experiment()
exp.expname = "test_newcode"
exp.model_dx = 2000
exp.n_ens = 10
exp.update_vars = ['U', 'V', 'W', 'THM', 'PH', 'MU', 'QVAPOR', 'QCLOUD', 'QICE', 'PSFC']
exp.filter_kind = 1
exp.prior_inflation = 0
exp.post_inflation = 4
exp.sec = True
exp.cov_loc_vert_km_horiz_km = (3, 20)
```
In case you want to generate new observations (observing system simulations experiment, OSSE), set `sxp.use_existing_obsseq = False`.
`exp.nature` defines where observations will be drawn from, e.g.:
```python
exp.nature = '/mnt/jetfs/scratch/lkugler/data/sim_archive/exp_v1.18_P1_nature/2008-07-30_06:00/1'
```
`exp.input_profile` is used, if you create initial conditions from a so called wrf_profile (see WRF guide).
```python
exp.input_profile = '/mnt/jetfs/home/lkugler/data/initial_profiles/wrf/ens/2022-03-31/raso.fc.<iens>.wrfprof'
```
Vertical localization is tricky to set.
For horizontal localization half-width of 20 km and 3 km vertically, set
`exp.cov_loc_vert_km_horiz_km = (3, 20)`
You can also set it to zero for no vertical localization.
Set you desired observations like this.
```python
t = dict(plotname='Temperature', plotunits='[K]',
kind='RADIOSONDE_TEMPERATURE',
n_obs=1, obs_locations=[(45., 0.)],
error_generate=0.2, error_assimilate=0.2,
heights=[1000,], # range(1000, 17001, 2000),
cov_loc_radius_km=50)
exp.observations = [t,]
```
To generate a grid of observations, use
```python
vis = dict(plotname='VIS 0.6µm', plotunits='[1]',
kind='MSG_4_SEVIRI_BDRF', sat_channel=1,
n_obs=961, obs_locations='square_array_evenly_on_grid',
error_generate=0.03, error_assimilate=0.03,
cov_loc_radius_km=20)
```
But caution, n_obs should only be one of the following:
- 22500 for 2km observation density/resolution
- 5776 for 4km;
- 961 for 10km;
- 256 for 20km;
- 121 for 30km
For vertically resolved data, like radar, n_obs is the number of observations at each observation height level.

### Configuring the hardware
In case you use a cluster which is not supported, configure paths inside `config/clusters.py`.
### Assimilate observations with a prior given by previous forecasts
### Assimilate observations
We start by importing some modules:
```python
import datetime as dt
from dartwrf.workflows import WorkFlows
```
To assimilate observations at dt.datetime `time` we set the directory paths and times of the prior ensemble forecasts:
```python
prior_path_exp = '/mnt/jetfs/scratch/lkugler/data/sim_archive/exp_v1.19_P3_wbub7_noDA'
prior_init_time = dt.datetime(2008,7,30,12)
prior_valid_time = dt.datetime(2008,7,30,12,30)
assim_time = prior_valid_time
```
Finally, we run the data assimilation by calling
```python
w = WorkFlows(exp_config='cfg.py', server_config='srvx1.py')
w.assimilate(assim_time, prior_init_time, prior_valid_time, prior_path_exp)
```
Congratulations! You're done!
