 The code of ORCHIDEE includes many "code" options, i.e. options to execute some parts of the code or not. These options are controlled by some configuration files, mostly config.card and PARAM/run.def (see 4a). Since these options are not hard-coded, you can change them without recompiling. But they condition your result, and you need to know them to explain your model version.
 
-These options depend in general on the branch of ORCHIDEE you are using. As a (non exhaustive) example, the following ones are in the CMIP6 trunk (now tagged 2.0):
+These options depend in general on the branch of ORCHIDEE you are using. As a (non exhaustive) example, the following ones are available in the CMIP6 trunk (now tagged 2.0):
 - old or new driver (for offline simulations, to deal with meteorological input files) ***how is it set?
 - use the module stomate, which has vegetation that grows and responds to climatic conditions (STOMATE_OK_STOMATE, defined in config.card or PARAM/run.def)

 - activate soil_freezing, etc... (more details on flags and keywords in 4c).

 ORCHIDEE output is controlled by separate modules, referred to as XIOS ([[https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/wiki/DevelopmentActivities/ORCHIDEE-CNP here] PDF] and [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/XIOSinConfig webpage]) and IOIPSL.  These modules greatly improve reading and writing data for large simulations, although the benefits may not be seen for single pixel, single CPU runs.
