geoaquacrop-preprocess

geoaquacrop-preprocess is an automated data download and preprocessing pipeline for running FAO AquaCrop over large regions in gridded format.

Given a polygon defining the area of interest and a time period, the pipeline automatically downloads, reprojects, and harmonises the following datasets onto a common output grid:

Dataset

Variables

Source

Native resolution

Climate (past)

Min/max temperature, precipitation, reference ET

AgERA5 via Copernicus CDS

0.1°, daily

Climate (future)

Min/max temperature, precipitation, reference ET

NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6

0.25°, daily

Soil

Clay, sand, silt, soil organic matter (6 depth layers)

ISRIC SoilGrids

250 m

Crop calendar

Planting DOY, growing season length

GGCMI phase 3 v1.01

0.5°

Crop areas

Physical area by crop and irrigation type

SPAM 2010/2020

~10 km

The climate source is chosen automatically: AgERA5 reanalysis is used when both years fall within its availability window (1979 to the previous complete year); NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 projections are used otherwise.
