Asia - A Set of Agroclimatic Indicators for Identifying Abiotic Stresses (Base of the analogues tool), Calculated Based on Data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), Specifically the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2-4.5, for the Period 2041-2060.

The purpose for creating these indicators is to perform a similarity analysis of the climatic conditions (heat, drougth and waterlogging stresses) of a specific location versus the climatic conditions where the accessions of the different crops available in Genesys were collected, within the Analogues tool. The above considers climate change scenarios, thus facilitating the adaptation of crops to future conditions.

Methodology: To calculate these agroclimatic indicators, the data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) was taken as a basis, for the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2-4.5, for the time period 2041-2060 and downscaling and bias correction were applied following the methodology proposed by Navarro-Racines et al. (2020), thus obtaining daily data during the aforementioned time period for the variables: precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature at a resolution of 5 km. With the above, the indicators were calculated by month during 2041 -2060 and finally, to summarize the calculated indicators, a multi-annual aggregation of the data was carried out.
