A grid surface delineating Growing Degree Days (GDD) calculated for months October through to April for land areas across Tasmania at a spatial resolution of 30m.
GDD was calculated by taking the average of the daily maximum and minimum temperatures compared to a base temperature, Tbase. This is in the form:
GDD = (Tmax +Tmin/2) - Tbase [where Tbase = 10C]
Three datasets are available for this parameter representing recent climate to 2018 (gdd_bt10_0110to3004) and projected climate - based on Climate Futures for Tasmania (CFT) modelling - at 2030 (gdd_bt10_0110to3004_2030) and 2050 (gdd_bt10_0110to3004_2050).
