Agroclimatic Atlas of Croatia for the period 1991–2020

Agroclimatic Atlas of Croatia for the period 1991–2020 represents the first Croatian agroclimatic atlas and contains tables and maps of certain agroclimatic parameters and indices for two climatological periods: 1981–2010 and 1991–2020. The atlas consists of six chapters. Textual introduction at the beginning of each chapter is followed by tables and maps for the newer period 1991–2020 while tables and maps for older period 1981–2010 are given only in digital form. Data from 109 meteorological stations have been used for creation of the atlas. After the historical review in the first chapter, agroclimatic indices based on air temperature and maximum duration of hot and cold periods in the air were described in the second chapter. The third chapter deals with analysis of soil temperature at different depths, maximum duration of hot and cold periods in the soil and maximum frost line. Palmer model has been applied to estimate water balance components (potential and actual evapotranspiration, soil moisture content, soil moisture loss, recharge and runoff) which have been subject, alongside with maximum duration of dry and wet periods, of the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter of the atlas describes spatial distribution of fire indices which have been calculated according to Canadian model Fire Weather Index (FWI). Method of spatial interpolation and model validation were described in the last chapter.
