Hello,
I am about to model maize yields in Southern Germany. Unfortunately the
available weather data contains only sunshinehours. Although the weatherman
in DSSAT v4.0.2.0 converts sunshinehours into solar radiation, the result is
not satisfying at all. The calculated values for the solar radiation are too
low.
My questions are if you can tell me, how the weahterman converts the
sunshinehours into solar radiation and which experiences you have made with
this function.
