Abstract

We present in this paper the development of a new, open-source MATLAB toolbox SRS-GDA that aims to provide random spatial sampling of grid-based hydro-climatic datasets for environmental change studies. This toolbox addresses the needs of quantifying how hydro-climatic responses, which are often dri...
