Abstract

The future agriculture and the impact of climate change on crop production is one of the key problems in the present economy. The basic component which models the weather-crop relation is a the weather generator – a tool producing future climate data – required as an input to crop models, and other economical models and decision support systems used to evaluate crop production. WGENK, the weather generator which produces synthetic daily data, is presented in this paper.  The WGENK model was studied by comparing the statistics of generated data with the weather observation data from five meteorological stations of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Resources located in the Southwest of Poland.
