    • 1). Optimization and MPI parallelisation of the PGD and PREP steps.
    • 10). A first version of the new coding related to the building of ECOCLIMAP-SG
    • 11). The GRIB-API library is updated to version 1.17.0.
    • 12) The output SNOW fields can be written 2D (number of points / number of snow layers), by M. Lafaysse (CEN).
    • 13) The NETCDF forcing file can be partially read, by M. Lafaysse (CEN).
    • 14) The definition of the OFFLIN output fields to be written is suppressed from files init_outfn_....
    • 15) The OFFLIN output fields are adapted to plot their fields with EPyGrAM.
    • 16) The possibility to give CONDSAT, MPOTSAT, BCOEF, WWILT, WFC and WSAT, by soil layer, in the namelist NAM_DATA_ISBA, is added.
    • 17) A correction for the forcing radiation is introduced, under key (C. Szczypta, P. Le Moigne).
