Hello,
I am using a crop model (APSIM) to simulate the performance of different cropping systems in one site of the West African savanna. The model requires daily data of rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures and radiation (which I got from the NASA POWER facility).
I would like to create datasets of future climates by modyfing the dataset of the current climate. Mainly in three ways:
1. Increasing the mean annual temperature.
2. Increasing the annual rainfall while concentrating the rainfall events in fewer days of the year (i.e. more intense rainfalls).
3. Delaying/anticipating the onset/end of the rainy season.
I can use Python and R. I have discovered the RMAWGEN package, but in following the documentation I get quite lost.
Do you know if RMWAGEN (or any other free available weather generator) can be really handy for my purpose. Are there some tutorials with code examples?
Are there any free access datasets of future climates on a daily basis that can be downloaded instead of having to generate the dataset myself?
