This dataset contains spatially explicit, process-based simulation outputs of winter wheat growth and water use across Europe. Simulations were conducted over a 30-year historical climate period and aggregated to seasonal values from sowing to harvest. The dataset includes simulations for 2 winter wheat cultivars (Tommi and S. Dickkopf). As defined in the associated manuscript, Tommi represents a modern cultivar (released 2002), S. Dickkopf represents a historic cultivar (released 1895). The dataset was generated to support analyses of cultivar-specific differences in transpiration and related variables under contrasting climatic conditions.
