The Model-Integrated Crop Weather Database provides key meteorological data, including solar radiation, humidity and evapotranspiration that affect rice growth, from AMeDAS (Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System) and weather station sites across Japan. It estimates rice growth conditions at selected locations and assesses microclimatic factors in paddy fields, such as water temperature and rice ear temperature, which affect yield and ripening. By integrating with existing crop databases and trail data, it facilitates analysis of the impact of climate change on rice production, supporting future yield projections, risk assessment and adaptation strategies.
