Abstract : 

This dataset compares cumulative temperature masks of the year 2024 with the average in 2020,2021, and 2022.  The input data is taken from Cumulative temperature masks calculated in those years and then turned to integer numbers of 0 to 3 to present which of these years were suitable.  The data can be classified as:   1 for unsuitable areas  0 for Suitable in 2024  2 for Suitable in 2020-2024  3 for Suitable in  2020-2022

This dataset will be updated every couple of months by the end of the year 2024.

File naming schema:

 ER24ti202122 + 8-day number (46 in total) for example :  ER24to20212208C68F.tif,   08 in this example refers to 6th of March

 ERCumTepdif24 + month+ day: ERCumTempdif240306.jpg,  0306   refers to the 8-day starting that day.
