Preparation of ten-daily rainfall and ET0 maps for crop forecasting
Crop forecasting based on water balance calculations is usually done in a ten-day timestep. A ten day period is called a “dekad”. However, should daily weather data of good spatial and temporal extend be available, the water balance can be run in AgrometShell on a daily basis.
In order to do crop forecasting the following weather data have to be gathered:
- Actual decadal rainfall data for the running season.
- Actual decadal ET0 data for the running season
- Normal rainfall data
- Normal ET0 data
These data form indicators in itself, even without using them directly in a water balance calculation. Some examples are given below:
A simple rainfall map for the current dekad
Start the “Database-Map” function. This example will display rainfall data for a specific dekad in 2002 for Bangladesh.
