AgMIP Climate Forcing Datasets
AgMERRA Climate Forcing Dataset for Agricultural Modeling
This directory contains the AgMIP climate forcing dataset based on the NASA Modern-Era Restrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA). AgMERRA corrects to gridded temperature and precipitation, incorporates satellite precipitation, and replaces solar radiation with NASA/GEWEX SRB to cover the 1980-2010 period.
