Climate forcing datasets for agricultural modeling: Merged products for gap-filling and historical climate series estimation

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThe AgMERRA and AgCFSR climate forcing datasets provide daily, high-resolution, continuous, meteorological series over the 1980-2010 period designed for applications examining the agricultural impacts of climate variability and climate change. These datasets combine daily resolution data from retrospective analyses (the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, MERRA, and the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis, CFSR) with in situ and remotely-sensed observational datasets … Show more

“…Future assessments may find greater adherence to historical conditions by utilising the agricultural-impacts oriented version of the MERRA dataset for gap-filling (AgMERRA; Ruane et al, 2014). The Delta climate change projection downscaling technique is relatively unsophisticated.…”

“…First, our analysis does not include the latest forcing data sets, AgMERRA and AgCFSR [Ruane et al, 2015], used in the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project. A sophisticated retrospective forcing data set for precipitation (MSWEP), which is a hybrid of gauge observations, satellite estimates, and reanalysis data, has become recently available [Beck et al, 2017], although this study only considered forcing data sets that cover the many climatic variables necessary to run impact models.…”

“…However, they all show a similar relative decreasing trend over the 21st century. The main perspective of this work is to go on exploring the uncertainty linked to bias-correction methods and their associated reference data in RCP climate scenarios by producing a second version of this bias-corrected 29-GCM ensemble over Africa using more recent reference data like EWEMBI or others like those used in AgMIP based on other reanalyses (AgMERRA or AgCFSR; Ruane et al, 2015). The main divergence among all those reference datasets is probably expected from rsds.…”
