Data set: Average daily minimum temperature in January and February in Corsica

Raster providing the average of the daily minimum temperature in Celsius degrees over January and February in Corsica from 1995 to 2003 with a 0.016667x0.0166671 resolution in latitude and longitude.

Construction: This raster was constructed from the freely available database (PVGIS © European Communities, 2001-2008) providing, in particular, monthly averages of the daily minimum temperature reconstructed over a grid with 1$\times$1km spatial resolution (Huld et al., 2006). These monthly averages correspond to the period 1995-2003 and were used by Abboud et al. (2019, 2020) to model Xylella fastidious dynamics in South Corsica.

Load the raster in the R statistical software (v4.1.2):
