Variability in accuracy Optimization of spatial resolution Stablization of system Limited dataset Variable selection 2m vs canopy conditions
19
Gridded WRF forecasts have many advantages over ANN point based model Increased accuracy at critical locations Increased accuracy at critical times Increased spatial resolution Potential to vary spatial resolution Potential to vary height of measurements Expanded variable set Run time flexibility
20
Compare accuracy and variability for different crops in different regions Compare ANN interpolation from points to spatially gridded forecasts Is the investment worth it?
