Documentation

Here below are some links towards presentations of ORCHIDEE model and related papers of reference. In a near future, a dynamic documentation will be written based on Doxygen software.

• OrchideeDocumentation? using Doxygen to prepare the scientific and technical documentation

• CMIP5 METAFOR MetaforOrc? questions.

Main Presentations

• Technical notes from G. Krinner that give the main equations of STOMATE and LPJ components. ​note.technique_krinner99.ps
  
• A presentation that gives the structure in which ORCHIDEE was coded. ​orchidee.pdf
• A presentation that gives a brief overview of the processes, structure and inputs/outputs structure of ORCHIDEE ​cours_orchidee_sept2011.pdf
