Build an automated Wofost simulation environment
Closed this issue · 1 comments
In order to emulate Wofost, we need an automated system in which sampled parameters related to crops, management, location are passed to WOFOST. Any set of inputs is then passed to WOFOST resulting in a WOFOST run returning the output (primarily yields, but could also be LAI, soil moisture, harvest date and so on). The idea here is that the Emulation team builds a csv files in R taking care of sampling the input parameter space of interest for crops and rotations in the UK; each row in such file represents a sample of the input parameter space which needs to be passed to WOFOST to run; if working with rotations, multiple rows might be read togehter if they are part of the same crop rotation. The automated WOFOST environment implemented in this issue loads this csv file, reads it and runs instances of WOFOST for the specified crops or crop rotations.
The key issue to implement here is a way to alter standard input parameters to match those defined in the csv file which will be taken as the imput to this script.
