AgMIP Acronyms:
ACE - AgMIP Crop Experiment (database or data format). ACE refers to both a data format and the data archived in this format. The ACE data format uses key-value pairs in nested JSON structures. The key corresponds to a variable defined in the ICASA-MVL. ACE also refers to the data and database for AgMIP site-based data from farm surveys, yield trials, variety trials and detailed field experiments. Depending on the quality of the data, they can be used for model calibration, improvement and regional integrated assessments. research.agmip.org/display/itwiki/ACE+Data
ACMO - AgMIP Crop Model Output (database). This database contains a harmonized format for simulated outputs from crop models. These data are used directly by the regional economic models. Data are linked to ACE and DOME data. research.agmip.org/display/itwiki/ACMO+-+AgMIP+Crop+Model+Output
AgMIP - Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project. The “P” will soon migrate from Project to Program. www.agmip.org
AMC - Agricultural Modeling Community
CGIAR - Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research
CMIP - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
CLS - Crop-Livestock Systems
DOME - Data Overlay for Multi-model Export. DOMEs allow modelers to make provide assumptions uniformly to multiple models. Combined ACE and DOME data are supplied to data translators to produce the model-specific input data formats required by each crop model. Field overlay DOMEs are used to fill in data which are required by crop models, but not supplied in the ACE data. Seasonal strategy DOMEs allow multi-year simulations for baseline or future climate conditions, using planting date rules and other imposed management regimens. Rotational strategy DOMEs allow simulation of hypothetical long-term crop rotation scenarios.
