Covariance matrix check — at Version 2

Reported by: Ian Culverwell Owned by: Ian Culverwell
Priority: normal Milestone: 6.0
Component: ropp_1dvar Version: 4.1
Keywords: Covariance matrix Cc:

Description (last modified by Ian Culverwell)

At present there is no check that an ingested covariance matrix has the right size for the problem in hand. Because of the way covariance matrices are stored in ROPP (in a "triangular" format), a matrix appropriate to a bigger problem can be read in OK, without crashing and with 1s in the right place (think about it). So it would be subtly wrong - the worst kind of error.

At least one user has fallen over with this. So we should put a check in to stop it happening.
