Degree-days were estimated using integration of a piecewise cubic hermite interpolating polynomial calculated from monthly data. Input monthly data from the Scenarios Network for Alaska + Arctic Planing, consisting of downscaled CRU TS 4.0 historic estimates of monthly temperature, were used for the period from 1901-2020, and downscaled CMIP5/AR5 projected estimates of monthly temperature were used from the period from 2006-2100. Thawing degree-days were calculated from 1901-2100, and freezing degree-days from 1901-2099.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13QB93Y", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.677d4296d34e480c9507f9a7.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_677d4296d34e480c9507f9a7", "keyword": ["Alaska", "USGS:677d4296d34e480c9507f9a7", "Yukon Territory", "climate", "climate change", "climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "geospatial datasets", "permafrost", "thermokarst"], "modified": "2025-01-24T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-173.4996, 51.3565, -111.2458, 71.3243", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Raster Freezing and Thawing Degree-day Data for Alaska and Northwest Canada 1901-2100"}
