The Challenge

• Nonlinearity. Crop response to environ-ment nonlinear, non-monotonic.

• Dynamics. Crops respond not to mean conditions but to dynamic interactions:– Soil water balance– Phenology

The Challenge:The Scale Mismatch Problem

• Crop models:

– Homogeneous plot spatial scale

– Daily time step (w.r.t. weather)

• GCMs:

– Spatial scale 10,000-100,000 km2

– Sub-daily time step, BUT... Output meaningful only at (sub)seasonal scale

• Spatial averaging within GCM distorts daily variability important to crop response

• Temporal scale problem more difficult than spatial scale

Linking Approaches

• Classification and analog methods (e.g., ENSO phases)

• Synthetic daily weather conditioned on forecast: stochastic disaggregation

• (Corrected) daily climate model output

• Statistical function of simulated response

Lessons learned…

• Simultaneous Bias Correction (BC) of GCM rainfall frequency and intensity improves the “weather within climate” information contained in the daily GCM rainfall, however-

• BC does not correct the temporal structure of daily GCM rainfall… GCM daily rainfall are highly auto-correlated.

• Combined BC-DisAg improves the temporal structure of daily rainfall hence improved the simulations of dry spell lengths and frequency, thus improving the systematic bias in the simulated yields.
