This is model output from ORCHIDEE-crop for maize as part of AgMIP's Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison (GGCMI) phase 1 output data set. The data have been generated following the modeling protocol of Elliott et al. (2015) and has been used to evaluate the models (Müller et al., 2017). A data description paper has been published in Scientific Data (Müller et al. 2019).
