WRF_Noahmp_Crop model yield assessment

[wangyan891216]

Dear all:
I was trying to test the WRF_Noahmp_Crop model in China, in wrfout there is a variable named "GRAIN (g/m2)".
I have 2 questions:
(1) if the maximum GRAIN during the grow season is the finall yield of the crop or all the GRAIN results should be accumulated to represnt the crop yield?
(2) what should I do if I want to compare the simulated crop yield from the WRF_Noahmp_Crop with the statistics, is there a conversion coefficient between the simulated GRAIN with the actiual yield?
Thanks for anyone who may concern.
Looking forward for constructive relies.

Wangyan

Please see my answers below:

(2) what should I do if I want to compare the simulated crop yield from the WRF_Noahmp_Crop with the statistics, is there a conversion coefficient between the simulated GRAIN with the actiual yield?

I am not sure how to do so. Please refer to the literature for helpful information.

Ming Chen,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I will refer to more literatures as suggested.
Have a good day!
