The 11-layer hydrology is now the default scheme for ORCHIDEE-CN-P (r4166).

1. active the new hydrology scheme

To activate the 11-layer hydrology you have to make sure in PARAM/run.def:

HYDROL_CWRR = y

2. tell the model that has to deal with a new input file

we use USDA for soil texture and the Zobler (default) file for soil color (which increases the risk of having inconsistent soil properties / is inefficient )

in PARAM/run.def:

SOILTYPE_CLASSIF=usda

SOILCLASS_FILE=soils_param_usda.nc
SOILALB_FILE=soils_param.nc

3. use the NP version of the soil map (IMPORTANT)

replace the corresponding line in COMP/sechiba.card with the path to the NP input files:

            (/ccc/cont003/home/dsm/p529goll/ORC-CNP_input/revXX/soils_param_usda_new.nc, soils_param_usda.nc), \

Make sure the file name is the same as set in PARAM/run.def for SOILCLASS_FILE
