Using a crop simulation model to select the optimal climate grid cell resolution: A study case in Araucanía Region
Crop models are sensitivi by the climatic spatial scale for performing thesimulation. Several crop simulation studies use mesoescale climate database (20-50 km), where topography is neglected. We develop a method to select the optimal climate grid cell resolution (OCGR) based on winter wheat (Tritic...

Crop models are sensitivi by the climatic spatial scale for performing thesimulation. Several crop simulation studies use mesoescale climate database (20-50 km), where topography is neglected. We develop a method to select the optimal climate grid cell resolution (OCGR) based on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) yield simulations in complex topographical zones (CTZ) and flat topographical zones (FTZ) in the Araucania Region of Chile (37°35' and 39°37' S - 73°31׳ and 71.31׳ W).
