Hi @prisae — I'm going to run a scope query on this because it is borderline in terms of size by lines of code. This will take a few weeks, thanks for your patience.

[prisae]

Hi @kthyng - that is alright. In our experience, the method is theoretically very simple and straightforward, but practical implementation shows many hurdles that people struggle with. This is something we realized with students and also in training workshops. Therefore we thought it to be worthwhile and useful to the community to make a package out of it. But of course, the decision is up to the editorial board! Thanks!

[prisae]

From the list of reviewers the one appearing when searching for "data assimilation" will be good candidates: timothyas, peanutfun, kwinkunks, haakon-e.

I hope it is OK if I tag here my co-authors, so that they are kept in the loop: @gabrielserrao, @femkevossepoel
