Abstract
Crop-growth simulation models need long-term daily weather data to assess possible modifications in farm production in changed climatic conditions. Presented here is a stochastic weather generator LARS-WG that provides synthetic long time series of climatic elements. The generator gave an adequate simulation of weather parameters for a selected station in Poland and was next applied to construct climate change scenarios on the basis of UKTR model data.
