Weather dataset choice introduces uncertainty to estimates of crop yield responses to climate variability and change by Parkes, Ben, Higginbottom, Thomas P., Hufkens, Koen, Ceballos, Francisco, Kramer, Berber, Foster, Timothy

“…We show that these differences create large uncertainties in estimated crop yield responses and exposure to extreme weather events, which highlight the need for improved consideration of input data uncertainty in statistical studies that explore impacts of climate variability and change on agriculture.…”
