Evaluation
In this section, you will find results of simulations of tagged versions and an attempt to compare them to either a set of observation or to former simulations of ORCHIDEE. Each ORCHIDEE version tends to be evaluated with three sort of runs :
- OFF-LINE mode :
- In this configuration, we use atmospheric data to force the surface model. Data might be global reanalysis or local data (Fluxnet sites)
- ON-LINE mode :
- that is for ORCHIDEE group the mode where ORCHIDEE is built as a module of the
atmospheric model LMDz4 (see LMDZ4).
- In this configuration, we use a 96x71 grid to validate TO DO.
- Couple mode :
- that is the Global Climate Model of IPSL.
See IGCMG Web and IGCMG Models for more
informations.
- In this configuration, we have all IPSL climate models coupled together.
It is the IPCC configuration.
