The data is provided for grids of 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 km resolutions. These data grids represent spatial aggregations of the climate of approximately 1 km resolution and soil data of approximately 300 m resolution raster. The purpose of this data is the use as input for crop models. It thus contains the key relevant soil and climate variables for running crop models. Additionally, the data is specifically designed to analyze effects of scale and resolution in crop models, e.g. data aggregation effects. It has been used for several studies on spatial scales with regard to different scaling approaches, crops, crop models, model output variables, production situations and crop management among others.North Rhine-Westphalia, GermanyData Set<a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0">CC0 1.0</a>Hoffmann, H., Enders, A., Siebert, S., Gaiser, T., & Ewert, F.
