+This module provides subroutines that implement the parallel versions
 of the sequential scalar filter algorithms. These include the standard

 correction algorithms for both mean and spread. In addition, algorithms 
 to do a variety of flavors of filters including the EAKF, ENKF, particle 
 filter, and kernel filters are included. The parallel implementation
