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. [http://www.ipsl.jussieu.fr/~ssipsl/doc/note.technique_krinner99.ps note.technique_krinner99.ps][[BR]]
 * A presentation that gives the structure in which ORCHIDEE was coded. [http://dods.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/WEBORCHIDEE/orchidee.pdf orchidee.pdf]
 * A presentation that gives a brief overview of the processes, structure and inputs/outputs structure of ORCHIDEE [http://dods.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/WIKI/cours_orchidee_sept2011.pdf cours_orchidee_sept2011.pdf]
