How to install ORCHIDEE in coupled mode with LMDZ

There are 3 predefined configurations in modipsl containg LMDZ and ORCHIDEE :

• LMDZOR_v6 : Working configuration using recent version of LMDZ and ORCHIDEE, ​read more about LMDZOR_v6
• LMDZOR_v5 : Contains a trunk version 2076 of LMDZ5 and ORCHIDEE tagged version 1.9.5 (CMIP5 version)
• LMDZOR_v5.2 : Contains the same LMDZ5 as LMDZOR_v5 and revision 2247 on the trunk of ORCHIDEE

Usage of these configurations are covered by the igcmg_doc documentation : ​https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg_doc/wiki/Doc

Quick summary for installing LMDZOR_v6

svn co http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/svn/modipsl/trunk modipsl
cd modipsl/util
./model LMDZOR_v6
cd ../config/LMDZOR_v6
gmake

Install a branch ORCHIDEE with LMDZOR_v6

If you want to extract a branch of ORCHIDEE instead of the trunk, then for recent branches such as DOFOCO, SOM or MICT use LMDZOR_v6 configuration and modify the file mod.def before extraction. See here an example for extraction and compiling of ORCHIDEE-MICT with the default LMDZ5 version. In the example below you can change ORCHIDEE-MICT into ORCHIDEE-CN-CAN or ORCHIDEE-SOM):

svn co http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg/svn/modipsl/trunk modipsl
cd modipsl/util
vi mod.def   
    Modifiy the line 
#-C- LMDZOR_v6  trunk/ORCHIDEE                      HEAD		 14 ORCHIDEE    modeles
    into
#-C- LMDZOR_v6  branches/ORCHIDEE-MICT/ORCHIDEE     HEAD		 14 ORCHIDEE    modeles

./model LMDZOR_v6
cd ../config/LMDZOR_v6
gmake
