 == Passing input files to ORCHIDEE == 
 === Using libIGCM ===
+When downloading the ORCHIDEE trunk from svn, you will also download the ORCIDEE_OL folder. This folder contains a set of default [http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/igcmg_doc/wiki/Doc/Config/ORCHIDEE_OL#Theexperiments experiments]. Check which of these experiments could be a good starting point for the experiment you have in mind. Copy that folder and start from there.

-All input files for stomate are set in COMP/stomate.card. Input files for sechiba are set in COMP/sechiba.card for offline simulations and in orchidee.card for coupled simulations. The offline driver forcing files are set in orchidee_ol.card. In these ''component.card'', the input files are divided into different sections :
+The experiment you copied conatins several folders. The offline driver forcing files are set in orchidee_ol.card. The input files for the stomate routines are typically set in COMP/stomate.card. For offline simulations, input files for sechiba are set in COMP/sechiba.card. For coupled simulations, input files for sechiba are set in the orchidee.card.
+  
+In these ''component.card'', the input files are divided into different sections :
  * [!InitialStateFiles]/List : add the file here if it is only needed when no restart file is existing. For example soils_param.nc is set here.
- * [!BoundaryFiles]/List : add the file depends on the date of the simulation. For example the forcing file is set here. You can use ${year} and ${month} to describe the file. 
+ * [!BoundaryFiles]/List : add files that depend on the date of the simulation. For example the forcing file is set here. You can use ${year} and ${month} to describe the file. 
  * [!BoundaryFiles]/!ListNonDel : add the file here if it is needed during the whole simulation
  * [!ParametersFiles]/List : add the file here if it is a text file

-Syntax:
-Add in the end of the previous line "''',\'''", be careful not adding empty space and add a new line (sourcefile, destinationfile) where sourcefile is the complete file path and name and destinationfile is the filename read by the model. To define the path for the source file you can use ${R_IN} which points to the shared repository IGCM or set directly the full path to the file. 
+The ''component.card'' files are processed by the matching ''component.driver'', hence, the syntax is really important and precise. See how it is done for other files. If you are adding a file to an existing list, remember to add in the end of the previous line "''',\'''", be careful not to add empty spaces! Add a new line (sourcefile, destinationfile) where sourcefile describes the complete file path and filename and destinationfile is the filename read by the model (see above). To define the path for the source file you can use ${R_IN} which points to the shared repository IGCM or set directly the full path to the file ONLY if you are using a file that is not on the repository. '''Help us to save disk space and do NOT copy any files from the repository to your personal folders.''' 
 
 For the destinationfile you can use "'''.'''" if the filename is the same.
