New forecast product available!

CLIPS project has published a new six week forecast product for the summer season. Forecast estimates the development of the growing season and the sum of growing degree days for upcoming 3-6 weeks.

The Growing season product predicts average growth conditions during weekly periods. The product consists of two forecasts, which are based on the information about growing degree days. The growing degree days mean the heat accumulated during the growing season. The six week forecast aims to help, for example, in planting and harvesting and can therefore be helpful for farmers or avid gardeners.

The first forecast estimates whether the trend of the growing season is likely to be ahead, as usual or behind of the average situation on that week. The second forecast gives an estimate of the growing degree days sum as a value. The forecast product will be available to the pilot users until the end of August.
