| 1 | == Functionning of the ORCHIDEE project group to reach CMIP6 objectives == |
| 2 | |
| 3 | We discussed a lot on the best way to integrate existing developements and how to agree accross the ORCHIDEE group. The following points emerged: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - We need first to define a "set of minimum criteria" to commit a new developement in the TRUNC: Conservation of Energy, Water and Carbon (to a reasonable order); suitability for parrallelisation, and appropriate documentation. Check / Implementation of the conservation diagnostics should be done as soon as possible. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Each time a new model developement is proposed to the TRUNC, it needs to receive as much as possible the "agreement" of the "WHOLE (or MOST OF)" the ORCHIDEE group! This effort of "education" should not be avoided. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - We should work in parallele in small groups with: clear objectives, a precise roadmap, one person that is responsible (or a binome). Each group should report to the rest of the project team regularly (each month or two). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - We have to benefit as much as possible from the ongoing "faster" branch developement that are following specific scientific objectives (ex: MICT with the IMBALANCE_P and few others projects) |
