Description:

Added a paragraph on Identity observations in the first section in the docs under 'Observations'

Not sure if there is a better place to put it, e.g. in "introduction to ensemble data assimilation"
https://docs.dart.ucar.edu/en/latest/guide/introduction-ensemble-da.html

Used big H for forward operator, not sure if this is convention in DA.
