 # Description #
 LMDZOR_v6 is a configuration under construction. More information to come...
+
+LMDZOR_v6 configuration contains the atmospheric model LMDZ and the land surface model ORCHIDEE. Currently this configuration contains the following components:
+ * LMDZ5 testing revision 2314
+ * ORCHIDEE trunk revision 2724
+ * XIOS branchs/xios-1.0 revision 604 (library for writing output files)
+ * IOIPSL (IOIPSL is not used for output anymore, only for restart files and other options)
+ * libIGCM trunk revision 1215
+ * configuration files for LMDZOR_v6 revision 2618
+
 Default compilation is still 96x96x39. Default option during run time is old physics and 2-layer hydrology. These options can be changed.  
 
 # Parameter files #
-Most parameter file are found in PARAM/ directory as for the v5 configurations. But some files are now also copied from the model directories. This is the case for field_def_lmdz.xml and field_def_orchidee.xml. In lmdz.card and orchidee.card you can see where the files are taken from.

+
+In the parameter files, some of the variables will be modified after the job is submitted. All these variables are set equal _AUTO_ or _AUTOBLOCKER_. No variable can be modified without having this key word. This means that the real value will be set by the drivers when the job is submitted. The values are set according to the options from lmdz.card, orchidee.card, stomate.card and config.card. 
+
+A variable which is set to _AUTO_ can also be changed manually in the corresponding file in the PARAM directory. For this case, the driver can not change it again. Some variables are set equal _AUTOBLOCKER_. They cannot be changed. If still they are changed, the job will exit with error message.
+
+## Controlling output ##
+LMDZOR_v6 is only using XIOS for writing diagnostic output files. The output is managed by xml files. The files beginning with file_def....xml are controlling the variables and the files that are written. 
+
+A basic level of output control is done from config.card with the variables WriteFrequency. For LMDZ it is also possible to change the level of output for the files using the variable OutLevel in lmdz.card. Finer control of the output must be done directly in PARAM/file_def_....xml files. Where it is set _AUTO_, it can be replaced manually for exemple in PARAM/file_def_histday_lmdz.xml :
+
+{{{
+        <file id="histday" name="histday" output_freq="1d" output_level="_AUTO_" enabled="_AUTO_">
+}}}
+can be changed into
+{{{
+        <file id="histday" name="histday" output_freq="1800s" output_level="1" enabled=".TRUE.">
+}}}
