FLUXNET validation sites documentation

The objective is to evaluate the performance of ORCHIDEE against in-situ data by running ORCHIDEE on Eddy-covariance sites where C (NEE, GPP, TER) and Energy (LH, SH) fluxes and met data are available.

It consists in a suite of tools able to deal from input data formating to post-treatments. They are developed in Python and Shell scripts (based on the libIGCM library).

Here below is described the flowchart of the Fluxnet processing chain:

(1) DataProcessing

(2) SuiteofSimulations based on the ENSEMBLE configuration

(3) PostTreatment
