Short summary
In this study, we compare different methods for optimising parameters of the ORCHIDEE land surface model (LSM) using in situ observations. We use two minimisation methods - local gradient-based and global random search - applied either at each individual site or a group of sites characterised by one plant functional type. We demonstrate the advantages and challenges of different techniques and provide some advice on using it for the LSM parameters optimisation.
