Highlights

  • CO2 assumed 400 for all months of the year.

    • Data availably -> Monthly and in 100 \(km^2\)
  • rsds downloaded and imported from NEX-GDDP-CMIP6

  • created CSV for all the inputs

    • they should be for each year.
      • Preperation done for year 1980
  • List of .CSV files:

    • weather_$year.csv
    • Soil-$year.csv
    • Crop-Management
    • Crop-Parameters
    • Initial-Parameters
  • Designed the input funtion

    • Input: the dataset directories
    • Output: all of the SIMPLE model inputs
  • Studies on ARID:

    • 1: extreme water deficit (drought)
    • 0: water demand is met
  • Soil parameters added to the input

  • Equations for Water Available for the plant:

    • the book
    • the github diagram
    • the paper

Questions from the SIMPLE model:

  • How Sco2 and Swater are obtained?
  • What is the function for PAW
