| 2 | ORCHIDEE needs several forcing data in order to run correctly. The number of requested data is dependant of the configuration used. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | In On-Line mode, the data needed are related to soil texture and color. If the vegetation is prescribed, ORCHIDEE needs in addition a vegetation information defining the fraction of each PFT per gridcell. Vegetation types gathered in these vegetation maps can be either PFT or Holson categories. |

| 6 | In Off-Line mode, ORCHIDEE is forced by weather data based on observations or climate model reanalysis. |
| 7 | Last, depending of the options activated within a run of ORCHIDEE, additional maps might be used for irrigation, slope for routing scheme, ... |
