CROVER model output data for paper "Future Warming Decreases the Benefits of Irrigation in Global Food Production"

This data is output data simulated by the CROVER crop-river coupled model for the scientific paper entitled: “Future Warming Decreases the Benefits of Irrigation in Global Food Production”. Simulations are based on 120-year simulations (1981-2100) using 20 climate projections (four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) (2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) × five General Circulation Models (GCMs) (GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC-ESM-CHEM, and NorESM1-M)). The dataset includes crop yield of the modeled five crops (maize, rice, soybean, spring wheat, and winter wheat) each for irrigated and rainfed with a spatial resolution of 1.125 degree.

The file name consists of a series of identifiers, separated by underscore, according to the following pattern.

crover___yield__.grd

crover___yield__.ctl

Format: grads binary (global, 1.125 degree)

These files were compressed as a zip file for each GCM and RCP.
