Dear colleagues:



I'm analyzing the impact of climate change on rice yields, I'll work with input data generated by a Regional Climate Model, but I would also like to analyze the changes in yields because of an increase or decrease in the temperature for example in the whole campaign. In the Xbuild there is an option  to vary the climate, in Environment, environmental modifications. There you have to put the dates and the amount of variation (add 2), but if you want to increase the temperature by 2 degrees for the whole year for example, you would have to add 365 applications on this module. This is quite a work for doing a seasonal analysis for 10 years for example, you'd have to add 3650 applications.


Is there a way to make this work easier? Increasing by 2 degrees for the whole seasonal analysis?



I hope to hear from you soon.



Sincerely yours,
