Preparation of ten-daily rainfall and ET0 records 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
