The crop growth model CERES-Maize and stochastic daily weather generator Met&Roll was used to simulate maize yields in present and changed climate conditions. The sensitivity of model yields to selected characteristics of the daily weather series was examined, emphasis was placed on the characteristics not addressed by typical GCM-based climate change scenarios.
