Thermal zones - GAEZ v4 (Global - about 9 km)

The Thermal zones dataset, at about 9 km resolution, reflects actual monthly temperature conditions throughout the year and serve as input to crop suitability assessment. CRUTS32 as climate data source is used based on historical data for the time period 1981-2010.


The Thermal zones dataset is part of the GAEZ v4 Theme 2 Agro-climatic Resources, Climate Classification sub-theme.


For additional information on agro-climatic resources and indicators, please to Chapter 3 of the GAEZ v4 Model Documentation.
