Data Quality Information
Lineage
Process Step

1) Values calculated by CLIMAP growing period module are corrected in layer [gpon1] to be equal to or below 365 using raster calculator:con([gpon7] <= 365,[gpon7],[gpon7] - 365)2) Anomalous values above Aral Sea (=30) were corrected in layer [gpon7_cor] by special procedure using SetNull, FocalMean and Merge functions. Also abnormal onset dates in northern tip were exchanged between layers.
