DART Tutorial
=============

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
:doc:`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
:doc:`/guide/matlab-observation-space`.
