Information for the model VECTRI is provided for the simulation rounds shown in the tabs below. Click on the appropriate tab to get the information for the simulation round you are interested in.

Basic information
Model Version: v1.7.1
Reference Paper: Main Reference: tompkins and ermert et al. A regional-scale, high resolution dynamical malaria model that accounts for population density, climate and surface hydrology. malaria journal ,None,,
Person Responsible For Model Simulations In This Simulation Round: Adrian Tompkins

Input data sets used
Additional Information About Input Variables: 2 metre Temperature and surface precipitation
Additional Input Data Sets: population density (GRUMP)
Spin-up
Was A Spin-Up Performed?: Yes
Spin-Up Design: first year repeated 3 times and discarded.
