Hi there

### DasPy 1.0 ###
The objective of DasPy development is for the multisources and multivariate land data assimilation applications, such as soil moisture, soil temperature and joint state and parameter estimation. DasPy includes following components:
 (QQ Group:470154780)
 
### Model Operator: ###
  * CLM - Interface to Community Land Model 4.5

### Assimilation Algorithm: ###
  * Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (https://code.google.com/p/miyoshi/)
  * Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (EnKF, ETKF, LETKF, ESTKF, LESTKF) -- Only for test
 
### Perturbation Method: ###
  * Initial Condition
  * Soil Properties (Sand fraction, Clay fration and Organic matter desntiy)
  * Vegetation Properties (Leaf area index)
  * Atmospheric Forcing
 
### Observation Operator: ###
  1. CMEM - Interface to Community Microwave Emission Modelling Platform 4.1 (https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/LDAS/CMEM)
  2. COSMIC - COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Interaction Code (http://cosmos.hwr.arizona.edu/)
  3. TSF - Two-Source Formulation

### Parallel Computing: ###
  1. mpi4py - Message Passing Interface (MPI)
  2. parallelpython - Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP)
  3. SciPy-Weave - C++ && OpenMP

### Run Platform: ###
  1. JUROPA (http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc/EN/Expertise/Supercomputers/JUROPA/JUROPA_node.html)
  2. Linux
  3. GCC (tested for 4.7.3, 4.8.2, 4.9.2)
  4. Python 2.7
