The DART Tutorial is intended to aid in the understanding of ensemble data assimilation theory and consists of step-by-step concepts and companion exercises with DART.
Before beginning the DART Tutorial, make sure you are familiar with the prerequisite statistical concepts by reading conditional-probability-bayes-theorem.
The diagnostics in the tutorial use Matlab®. To learn how to configure your environment to use Matlab and the DART diagnostics, see the documentation for Configuring Matlab® for netCDF & DART.
