Main contents:

A bitmapped map containing effective heat sums above 15°C.

Classifier precision:

Effective heat sums are expressed in degrees Centigrade.

Map compilation procedure:

The layer has been derived by way of calculation using layers of average monthly air temperatures (Afonin et al., 2006). The calculation followed the general procedure (Losev, 1994) used in the Idrisi program, which imvolves macro programming. "-100" marks the pixels outside the atlas.
