+== NEW VALIDATION TESTS (OCT-NOV 2011) ==
+
+After merging the tag 1.9.5.2 into the externalized version, I launched some new validation tests. [[BR]]
+
+There are three kind of tests : Fluxnet (local scale), regional and global. [[BR]]
+
+These tests are not part of a scientific validation of the model but only technical ones. As I have only reorganized the code, I have to check if
+I obtain the same results in both cases.
+
+I used the same forcing files for all tests : ncc forcing ( for the year 1982) except for the test with the weather generator (CRU for the year 1985).[[BR]]
+
+My referenced version was the TAG 1.9.5.2 with corrections of the two following bugs : black_carbon and herbivorory.
+[[BR]]
+The tools used are cdo (cdo diffv command), a validation script (ksh + ferret) and ferret (difference maps).[[BR]]
+
+=== FLUXNET sites ===
+
+I launched the following tests :
+  1. FLUXNET_REF_OCT2011 (launched with the referenced version)
+  2. VAL_FLUXNET_2PFTS_OCT
+  3. VAL_FLUXNET_C3crop_to_C3grass
+  4. VAL_FLUXNET_C3GRASS_in_14
+  5. VAL_FLUXNET_C3GRASS_SPLIT
+The four last ones were launched with the externalized version. The setup of these jobs are the same defined in March (see above) :
+ ||VAL_FLUXNET_2PFTS_OCT   ||setup : 2 PFTS
+ ||VAL_FLUXNET_C3crop_to_C3grass||   setup : 13 PFTs with PFT_12 reparametrized as PFT 10
+ ||VAL_FLUXNET_C3GRASS_in_14 ||      setup : 14 PFTs with PFT 14 as C3 grass
+ ||VAL_FLUXNET_C3GRASS_SPLIT ||      setup : 14 PFTs with C3grass shared  between PFT 10 and  PFT 14 
+
+In order to check in teststomate was correctly adapted to the externalized version, I launched and compared the two following jobs :
+ 1. FLUXNET_TESTSTOMATE (referenced version) : 13 PFTs with vegetation only on PFT1 and PFT 10
+ 2. EXT_TESTSTOMATE_FLUXNET : 2PFTS 
+Both have the following setup :
+{{{
+# Initialisation for spin-up :
+# orchidee with sechiba alone (!!! if ok_stomate == n !!!)
+duree_nostomate=0
+# orchidee with stomate
+duree_inistomate=1
+# teststomate (only if duree_inistomate > 0)
+duree_offlineini=20
+
+# Loop over ORCHIDEE runs (used for spin-up)
+# The whole job is restarted n_iter times
+n_iter=1
+# orchidee with sechiba (and stomate if ok_stomate=y below)
+duree_sechiba=20
+# teststomate
+duree_stomate=0
+# forcesoil
+duree_carbonsol=0
+
+# Final run (full ORCHIDEE)
+# This last parameter must be non-zero.
+duree_final=20
+    
+}}}
+
+The last configuration to test was FORCESOIL. So I launched the following jobs :
+ 1. TAG_FLUX_FOR (referenced version) : 13 PFTs
+ 2. EXT_FLUX_FOR : 13 PFTs
+The setup was :
+
+{{{
+# Initialisation for spin-up :
+# orchidee with sechiba alone (!!! if ok_stomate == n !!!)
+duree_nostomate=0
+# orchidee with stomate
+duree_inistomate=1
+# teststomate (only if duree_inistomate > 0)
+duree_offlineini=0
+
+# Loop over ORCHIDEE runs (used for spin-up)
+# The whole job is restarted n_iter times
+n_iter=1
+# orchidee with sechiba (and stomate if ok_stomate=y below)
+duree_sechiba=20
+# teststomate
+duree_stomate=0
+# forcesoil
+duree_carbonsol=10000
+
+# Final run (full ORCHIDEE)
+# This last parameter must be non-zero.
+duree_final=20
+}}}
+
+
+
+
+=== Comparisons ===
+
+The comparisons by the three tools were all OK. 
+All results are available in a directory called VALIDATE_OCTOBRE_2011 on obelix.
+ 
+
+
+== Regional scale ==
+
+Only one test was made over a region of Europe (France I think).
