Dear all,

 

I look for gridded data for West Africa for length of the growing season based on climatic parameter. Does anyone have such data or knows a good source where they are available? Alternatively I could make use of monthly data for evapotranspiration.

 

Thank You,

 

Klaus

klaus,

for gridded climate datasets you could try CRU TS 3.0 data or CRU TS 2.1 ( both temperature & precipitation and some variations) depending on the period of your interest.
for rainfall TRMM data is another excellent source.

Hi Klaus,

 

You might check out the good old FAO-IIASA Global Agro-Ecological Zones data:

 

FAO: http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/metadata.show?id=73&currTab=simple

The gridded dataset on               Global length of growing periods: http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=73&fname=73.zip&access=private

 

Or when you need/desire modeled data into the future, check out our IMAGE data: http://themasites.pbl.nl/en/themasites/image/model_details/managed_land/CropandGrassProductionModelinputandoutput.html

 

Regards,

Johan Meijer
