orchideedriver.f90 created. This meant a number of substantial changes to globgrd.f90, forcing_tools.f90 and
driver2oasis.f90. The changes this implies for the run.def are the following :
#
# Simulation period is specified with start and end dates and a time step.
# Dates are in ISO format and time step in seconds.
#
START_DATE = 1990-01-01 0:0:0
END_DATE = 1990-03-01 0:0:0
TIME_STEP = 900
#
# A list of forcing files can be provided. All variables need
# to be in the same file but each file can any period.
#
FORCING_FILE = WFDEI_CRU_1979.nc WFDEI_CRU_1980.nc
The new driver is validated. It produces the same results as the orchideeoasis driver.
It seems to be a little faster.
