Description

This tool calculates statistics about the frost change frequency either from monthly or daily minimum and maximum temperatures. In case of monthly observations these will be spline interpolated to gain a daily resolution.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints
Input	Minimum Temperature	grid list, input	`TMIN`	Monthly (12) or daily (365) temperature observations.	-
Input	Maximum Temperature	grid list, input	`TMAX`	Monthly (12) or daily (365) temperature observations.	-
Output	Frost Change Frequency	grid, output	`FREQUENCY`	The number of days with frost change.	-
	Mean Temperature Span	grid, output, optional	`DT_MEAN`	Mean daily temperature span of frost change days.	-
	Maximum Temperature Span	grid, output, optional	`DT_MAX`	Maximum daily temperature span of frost change days.	-
	Standard Deviation of Temperature Span	grid, output, optional	`DT_STDV`	Standard deviation of daily temperature span of frost change days.	-
	Mean Minimum Temperature	grid, output, optional	`TMIN_MEAN`	Mean daily minimum temperature of frost change days.	-
	Minimum Temperature	grid, output, optional	`TMIN_MIN`	Coldest daily minimum temperature of all frost change days.	-
Options	Grid System	grid system	`PARAMETERS_GRID_SYSTEM`	-	-
