-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:

 Default compilation is still 96x96x39. Default option during run time is old physics and 2-layer hydrology. These options can be changed.

+## Main differences with LMDZOR_v5 and LMDZOR_v5.2 ##
+LMDZOR_v6 :
+ * is adapted to the latest versions of LMDZ and ORCHIDEE. 
+ * is only using XIOS for writing diagnostics. All diagnostics are configured in the xml files read by XIOS. The use of XIOS in server mode(default set up) removes the need for rebuild. 
+ * is compiling the hybrid parallelism mode (mixed MPI-OPenMP) which means that more cores can be used during run time which speeds up the computing time. 
+ * has a clearer method for changing parameter files :
+   * variables marked as _AUTO_ in the parameter files can be changed by the users. They can not be changed again by the scripts (the drivers). For example this is the case for all variables concerning the output. The user can set the output level as she wants directly into the PARAM/file_def_...xml files and it can not be overwritten by the drivers.
+   * variables marked as _AUTOBLOCKER_ must not be changed. If still they are changed, the simulation will stop with error message
