Description

This dataset contains daily rainfall and climate data for north Cameroon, that can be used as input of the SARRA-Py spatialized crop simulation model. This data can be directly put as input of SARRA-O model to perform computations and obtain simulation results.

The archive contains :

  • AgERA5 (doi:10.24381/cds.6c68c9bb) climatic data for north Cameroon, with daily geotiff files for minimum, maximum, mean temperature (°C), reference evapotranspiration calculated with Hargraeves formula (mm), and solar radiation flux (kJ/m²/d) at 0.1° spatial resolution from 01/01/2020 to 31/12/2022
  • CHIRPS v2.0 (doi:10.1038/sdata.2015.66) satellite rainfall estimation data for north Cameroon (mm), with daily geotiff files at 0.05° spatial resolution from 01/01/2020 to 31/12/2022

This data has been extracted from their original sources using the SARRA-data-downloader tool.
