Configuration of ORCHIDEE
The version of ORCHIDEE used in RegIPSL is the HEAD version of the ORCHIDEE-ROUTING Branche (Currently version 4513) : https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/browser/branches/ORCHIDEE-ROUTING/ORCHIDEE
The following main elements are chosen to configure the model :
- Su et al. parametrization of z0. (ROUGH_DYN = TRUE)
- PFT maps at high resolution derived from the ESA-CCI product (Evolving with time after 1992).
- USDA soil type map
- Background albedo derived from MODIS (currently low resolution and waiting for an update)
- Explicit snow scheme (OK_EXPLICITSNOW = TRUE
- Soil freezing activated with partial infiltration (OK_FREEZE = TRUE, FROZ_FRAC_CORR=2)
- Soil thermodynamical depth of 20m (DEPTH_MAX_T = 20)
- Photosynthesis of STOMATE is activated (STOMATE_OK_CO2 = y)
- Regional routing activated with 35 hydrological transfer units per grid box and the outflow of 200 rivers in their estuaries outputted.
Configuration of parametrizations
Domain configurations
ORCHIDEE will use the same domain and resolution as WRF. This is a consequence of the strong variability, in time and space, of the continental lower boundary condition for the atmosphere.
Output Variables
Table with the standard output variables from ORCHIDEE, according to the ALMA data exchange convention.
