DATASET OVERVIEW
Transfer data from GDHY to 0.1degree grid.The GDHY offers spatially explicit global analyses on crop yields and is especially useful for addressing recent patterns in crop yields and the impacts of recent climate variability and change on global food production; additionally, the GDHY can be used to evaluate global gridded crop model simulations and provide a basis for global and seasonal crop forecasting systems.
