Asking the pikas politely…
These are maps of annual accumulated fall growing potential (growing degree days, GDD) for the Upper Gunnison domain, derived from daily maximum temperature maps interpolated from weather station and microclimate sensor data. The original daily maps are also available. Temperature estimates represent conditions approximately 2m above the ground surface. Growing degree-days were accumulated from day-of-year 197 to day-of-year 305 (July 16th to November 1st in a non-leap year). To compute GDD, daily maximum temperatures above 5 degrees Celcius (minimal growth conditions for most plants) were summed across all focal days. These data represent annual estimates. 20-year means (2002-2021) are also available.
