Discharge simulation in the sub-basins of the Amazon using ORCHIDEE forced by new datasets

The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of the ORCHIDEE land surface model to simulate streamflows over each sub-basin of the Amazon River basin. For this purpose, simulations are performed with a routing module including the influence of floodplains and swamps on river discharge and valida...
