NB3: Inquiry of Appendix 5-1

[WeirdCxychen]

Hi,
When I used the GAEZ4_Appendices to populate the parameters in the maiz_fc3_rain_lst.xlsx and maiz_fc3_irr_lst.xlsx files under the "lgpt10" sheet, I noticed that the reference values for maize included negative values. I suspect this may be causing the negative values in my output as well (as shown below). Additionally, I observed that the reference data also contains negative values for the Length of Frost Free Period. Is it appropriate for days to be represented as negative values?

Looking forward to your reply!

regards,
Xinyue

Hi, I wonder that have you ever compared the result of NB2 with the Official statistics ,or how to make sure your result is right?
It would be appreciated that I can reach you by email if it's convenient.

Hi @WeirdCxychen,

Swun's here. Yeah, for some agro-climatic constraints with negative values, this is a statistical way to estimate fc3 value of zero. In case your fc3 returned negative, kindly modify into zero and the yield results. Since this is a mathematical bug, I'll revise and update the repository. Thank you for your comment.
