Aggregation of gridded emulated projections at the national or regional level: rainfed and irrigated crop yields and irrigation water requirements

Abstract

This article and companion code is an update to Blanc (2017b) which provided a tool to use statistical emulators of global gridded crop models described in Blanc and Sultan (2015) and Blanc (2017) and aggregated the projections at the regional level. This new version includes, in addition to rainfed yields of maize, rice, soybean and wheat, irrigated crops yields as well as associated irrigation water requirements as estimated in Blanc (2020).
