Each netCDF file provides crop yield estimates for a specific combination of setup components of the Global Gridded Crop Models (GGCMs) EPIC-IIASA and GEPIC

File naming convention

[model]_[climate]_[clim.scenario]_[sim.scenario]_[variable]_[crop]_[timestep]_[start-year]_[end-year].nc4

model = epic-test (GEPIC tested with setup combinations)
climate = wfdei.gpcc (WFDEI-GPCC climate database)
clim.scenario = historic time period (hist)
sim.scenario = combination of six setup components (1-6) from EPIC-IIASA (e) and GEPIC (g) (see below)
irr.scenario = water supply regime (firr = fully irrigated, noirr = no irrigation, rainfed only)
variable = output variable crop yield
crop = crop maize (mai)
timestep = annual
start-year = 1979
end-year = 2009

Simulation scenarios (sim.scenario above) correspond to those displayed in Table 3 of the publication:
1 = cultivar distribution
2 = soil parameters
3 = soil handling
4 = nutrient cycling coefficient
5 = hydrologic coefficients
6 = management
