New_LocClim: Local Climate Estimator | |
| Environment and Natural Resources, Working paper No. 20 (CD-ROM) | October 2005 |
The New_locClim (an abbreviation for “Local Climate”), a software program and database, provides estimates of average climatic conditions at locations for which no observations are available. The programme can (a) create climatic maps, (b) extract data in various formats from the database for further processing and (c) display graphs showing the annual cycle of monthly climate and the crop calendar.
The user can select between any of several interpolation methods and apply standard corrections, such as altitude corrections. The programme includes the current updated version of the FAOCLIM database of almost 30,000 stations worldwide, but users can also process their own data. This program supercedes FAOCLIM 2.0 and the earlier LocClim 1.0. Concepts of probability and risk of frost damage are reviewed, and information is provided to help readers make economic decisions about frost protection. Computer application programs (in Microsoft Excel) are included in the CD-ROM to help simplify complex calculations; sample calculations are presented in the text.

LocClim: Local Climate Estimator
Climatic conditions are recorded for very few locations on earth and most of the time, when an agricultural development project is planned, or when a climate-related risk assessment is to be carried out, the experts have to resort to using data from distant stations.
Dr Jürgen Grieser, now at the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre of the German Meteorological Service has spent several months with the Agrometeorology Group of the Environment and Natural Resources Service (SDRN) of FAO to develop a tool, LocClim, an abbreviation of Local Climate, to answer the very common question about climate in a location where there is no climate observing station.
LocClim Overview
LocClim was developed to provide an estimate of climatic conditions at locations for which no observations are available. To achieve this, the programme uses the 28800 stations of FAOCLIM 2.0, the global agroclimatic database maintained by the Agrometeorology Group of FAO.
Next to a "no questions asked" automatic mode, the "benchmark" mode gives the user full control over the interpolation procedure (Inverse Distance Weighting). Inputs can be taken from the keyboard (location specified either by co-ordinates or by a click on a map) or from user-provided ASCII files. Output can be in the form of ASCII files or user-defined georeferenced grids in WinDisp format.
The programme also provides estimates of growing season characteristics based on a comparison of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (Franquin's method).
