CURRENT CONFIGURATION

• ORCHIDEE: The files which make up the basic configuration will be prepared for the trunk (ORCHIDEE 4.x), ORCHIDEE 3.x and Tags 2.x
• Vegetation discretization: a single land cover map with the current 15 default PFTs will be prepared for a recent year. The forest, grassland and cropland MTCs can be refined in species-specific PFTs if required by the application.
• Parameter files: the parameter files will depend on the number of PFTs that was used to discretize the vegetation. For ORCHIDEE 4.x parameter files can be managed through the scripts and database stored in config/ORCHIDEE_OL/MAKE_RUN_DEFS.
• Land cover change map: Each project will have to prepare its own land cover change maps based on the number of PFTs and the time frame of the simulations, i.e., historical or future.
• Climate forcing: In the short term the configuration will make use of the SAFRAN forcing. In the future higher resolution forcing produced by ORCHIDEE-WRF could become available.
• Soil map: INRAE soil map will be used. See discussion
• Management: each project will have to prepare its own management maps based on the number of PFTs and the objectives of the study.
• River basins: not working yet at the SAFRAN resolution. For the time being we could store high resolution run-off information through the history files. Run-off could be calculated in post-processing.
• Restart: each project will have to prepare its own management maps based on the number of PFTs and the objectives of the study.

Discussion concerning the French configuration

Land cover change map

CITEPA could contribute as they have “made” specific land cover maps for France (annual) based on different products (ESA-CCI, a map from CESBIO, Corinne LC, ..)

Climate forcing

Soil map

Suite à l'échange d'email avec l'ADEME, Manuel Martin de l'INRAE infosol d'Orléans propose d'utiliser la carte de sol RMQS-RU pour la texture des sol et la RU, voici les deux publications concernant ce projet.

Pensez-vous que cette carte pourrait intégrer les cartes de forçage des textures de sol pour ORCHIDEE ? Manuel Martin parle d'une licence a obtenir pour accédé à la carte. Doit-on en déduire qu'elle sera payante ? j’avoue que je suis un peu perdue, et pour en rajouter une couche voici un autre papier, lié au 2ème ci-dessous: GlobalSoilMap? France: High-resolution spatial modelling the soils of France up to two meter depth ​https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896971631511X#f0005 D'ailleurs, si qq1 a les pdfs, je suis preneuse car je n'ai pas les droits pour les télécharger.

Mais pour être un peu plus constructive, voici ce que je peux dire :

Les paramètres hydriques sont actuellement au nb de 7 : ks (conductivité hydraulique), alpha et n (paramètres de van Genuchten), mcs (saturation), mcr (residual), mcw (wilting point), mcf (field capacity), sachant que les deux derniers peuvent être calculés à partir des 5 autres, et que la RU est donnée par le produit de leur différence (mcf-mcw) avec mcs et al profondeur du sol.

Deux façons sont actuellement disponibles pour définir ces paramètres (dans la branche 2_2) : (a) lire une carte de classes de textures USDA (12 classes, qui peuvent être déduites des fractions de sand/clay) et utiliser les PTF discrètes (Carsel et Parrish 1988) codées dans constantes_soil_var.f90 (b) lire une carte pour chacun des paramètres, ce qui permet d’être très flexible (c'est al nouveauté dans 2_2 et ça peut facilement intégré dans le trunk)

Ensuite, il y a d'autres paramètres du sol dans ORCHIDEE:

• la fraction d’argile qui sert dans stomate
• les paramètres thermiques sont actuellement déduits de la texture, à partir d'une carte de classes de textures USDA

Conclusion : même si on veut utiliser des cartes de paramètres hydriques, il faut actuellement rentrer une carte de classe de texture.

Enfin, quand je regarde la carte de texture de surface en Figure 8 du papier ci-dessous, ça me semble une très bonne base. Par contre, on peut se demander s'il faut prendre la texture en surface ou à 30 cm.

Suggestion: cartographier la classe texturale dominante à partir de cette carte (ou celle que vous aurez choisie in fine) à la résolution SAFRAN ; cartographier aussi les paramètres déduits avec nos PTFs et les comparer avec les cartes de paramètres recommandées par l'ADEME si c'est le cas.

To do:

• GM: Ask Nicolas Viovy whether his files are for his driver or standard driver.
• PP: Prepare SAFRAN for 2.1new driver (Philippe will ask Vlad for scripts/insights). Make sure it is compatible with the current and new driver.
• GM: Ask Miriam (ADEME) or Infosoil INRAE (Orleans) about the French soil map they want us to use. How to get the map? Texture map? Carbon content? Soil water holding capacity?
• AD: High resolution basin information needs to be prepared (this is already on Agnes’s to do list). Conversion from lambert-projection to lat/lon.
• PP: CITEPA ask for their land cover map.

Intended use(s)

ADEME

• Involved: Nicolas Vuichard, Jina Jeong, Guillaume Marie and Sebastiaan Luyssaert
• Short description: The ADEME project studies the impact of natural disturbances and forest management on future forest growth in France.

Configuration spinup

• ORCHIDEE 4.x: sechiba, stomate and sapiens
• Vegetation discretization: tree species level, three diameter classes and three or four age classes
• Restart: none
• Land cover change map: to be created based on the NFI age distribution map, NFI species distribution map, and the LUHv2 or another LCC product.
• Climate forcing: medium resolution (~ 8x8 km) no other specific requirements. Currently looking into SAFRAN data 1986 to 2018.
• Soil map: if available the soil map from a previous ADEME project. If not any soil map could do.
• Forest management map: for a recent year (default or based on NFI)

Configuration transient

Included in the spinup thanks to a dedicated land cover change map. This method only works when we try to match the forest age in a recent year. A present day forest age map could be created based on the NFI data. With this information we know when the forest was planted. We can then look at the LUH maps to see whether the pixel was forest or not. If it was a forest we keep the same forest if it was a grassland or cropland we change it. This gives the land cover map than will be used for the spinup. Following the spinup a transient run will account for the LCC in the correct year. That method will result in the correct age distribution of the forest in France in a recent year.

Configuration simulation experiments

• ORCHIDEE 4.x: sechiba, stomate and sapiens
• Restart: from spinup
• Land cover change map: none
• PFT map: based in NFI data (last map of the Land cover change maps that need to be prepared for the spinup)
• Climate forcing: downscaled AR5. medium resolution (~ 8x8 km). We will have an inconsistency between the spinup and the future simulations no matter which forcing we use.
• Soil map: if available the soil map from a previous ADEME project. If not any soil map could do.
• Species change maps: based on the scenarios France (this is part of the simulation experiment)
• Management change maps: based on the scenarios France (this is part of the simulation experiment)

Services climatiques IPSL, Explore2 (MTES), BLUEGEM if funded by Belmont Forum

• Involved: Agnès Ducharne, Jan Polcher, Frédérique Chéruy, Philippe Peylin, Bertrand Guenet, Philippe Ciais
• Short description: All three projects have a focus on water resources and their response to climate change and anthropogenic pressures, especially from the agricultural sector.

Configuration simulation experiments

• ORCHIDEE 2.x (3.x foreseen in a second step with Nicolas Vuichard): sechiba, stomate with HR routing, GWF, and irrigation
• Restart: from spinup
• PFT map: first step with CMIP6 maps, and attempts to use French agricultural census
• Land cover change: yes, using standard CMIP6 maps
• Climate forcing: SAFRAN (~ 8x8 km) + downscaled bias-corrected climate projections from other partners of the projects ; CORDEX output
• Soil map: first step with Reynolds, but tests with the INRA soil map
• Management change maps: for agriculture and irrigation, using standard CMIP6 maps (LUHv2), and tailored irrigation
• Model calibration : with ORCHIDAS over the historical period, to match hydrological observations

Produce forcing to run ORCHIDEE at km-scales

• Involved: Jan Polcher, Nicolas Vuichard, Nathalie De Noblet, …
• Short description: To be able to use ORCHIDEE over France at an appropriate resolution we also need the adequate forcing. Not only in terms of spatial resolution but also on the quality of the diurnal cycle of rainfall. I.e. the intensity of rainfall needs to be correct so that all the issues with ORCHIDEE’s water cycle come to light and we can explore our ability to simulate extreme events. This would mean running RegIPSL (WRF+ORCHIDEE) forced with ERA5. It would provide a dynamically downscaled version of the re-analysis which can serve for model development ... and in the end see how these improvements feedback to the

atmosphere.
