Mean_Minimum_Temperature_WFL1 (FeatureServer)

View In:   Map Viewer

Service Description: Mean minimum daily temperature is simulated using a grid over the state. The mean daily minimum temperature for the selected season is computed at each grid cell. The statewide seasonal mean is calculated by averaging these grid cell values over the whole state. Time periods are simulated using greenhouse gas emissions scenarios RCP 4.5 (moderate emissions) and RCP 8.5 (high emissions). The modeled data have been extracted from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Applied Climate Information System and localized to New Jersey.

Description:

A day’s lowest (minimum) temperature usually occurs in the early morning, just before sunrise. Averaging the daily low temperatures for any period results in a mean minimum temperature for that period. Periods of low temperature give plants, animals, and people a chance to recover from daytime heat. When minimum temperatures aren’t sufficiently cool, plant and animal responses can trigger ecosystem changes and increased demand for energy can stress energy infrastructure.

The Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) was developed and is maintained by the NOAA Regional Climate Centers (RCCs). It was designed to manage the complex flow of information from climate data collectors to the end users of climate data information. The main purpose of ACIS is to alleviate the burden of climate information management for people who use climate information to make management decisions.
