Climate datasets used to model seasonal tropical tree growth at a pantropical scale.

a: sol per day (mm/day equivalent) is calculated using the methodology presented in [39] specifically for the 15th day of each month to describe averages per month. Total sol per month (mm/month equivalent) is calculated by multiplying the value of sol for the 15th day of the month by the number of days in the month, 1 mm.day−1 equivalent of evaporation = 2.45 MJ.m−2.day−1.
