= Retreat around Model Outputs = 

The ORCHIDEE retreat took place in Jussieu (Darcy room) from 19th  (whole day) to 20th  (morning) of November. 

'''Objectives''' : Put everyone in a collective effort to facilitate the use of ORCHIDEE for the users. Clean, standardize and correct  all output variables of the model and prepare the xml file to be used with XIOS (replacement of IOIPSL for the output). Also discuss scientifically the current trunk simulation and model evaluation.

== Detailed objectives, Guidelines and Summarry of Actions ==

* Initial objectives described here: [wiki:Retreat20151119/Initial_objective detailed objectives]

* More information on XIOS are found under: https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/attachment/wiki/GroupActivities/Meetings/Developer/xios_in_orchidee_31mars2015_Ghattas_update4nov2015.pdf

* The main objective was to create a '''table for all outputs''' containing suggested changes [wiki:Retreat20151119/ArrayOutputs Array of Outputs (field id, variable name, unit, ...)] to meet the GUIDELINES described in next point

* Guidelines to follow in order to standardize the ouputs [wiki:Retreat20151119/GuidelinesXIOS XIOS Guidelines]

* Working groups to prepare the work for the retreat [wiki:Retreat20151119/WorkingGroups Working Groups]
