Minutes: FM

* '''Status of the ORCHIDEE-MICT branch'''
presentation FM

* '''Latest C permafrost developments'''
presentation DZ[[BR]]
These developments need to be first integrated into the ORCHIDEE-MICT branch from DZ's personal branch.[[BR]]
It is agreed that this C permafrost version should be the one integrated into the TRUNK within the first semester of 2016. If u is set to 0, this is equivalent to the former C permafrost version.[[BR]]
Some help could be given on this subject through the CRESCENDO project.

* '''MICT Forcesoil'''
presentation CY/YH[[BR]]
CY and YH are doing sensitivity tests and will propose a forcesoil protocol in a few weeks.[[BR]]
DZ has reported a bug when forcesoil is forced with a monthly time-step. When the bug is fixed, we hope to go from the daily time-step which gives correct results but is time-consuming back to the monthly time-step.
