Risk analysis of the first and last frost occurrences during growing season of vegetables in the Elbe River lowland
Result description
This study has, for the first time, analyzed in detail the risk occurrences of the last spring frost, first fall frost, and the length of the frost-free period during the growing season of vegetable crops at a high horizontal resolution of 10 km (CZGRIDS, ALADIN-Climate/CZ) in the Elbe River lowland. The daily minimum air temperature from 116 grid points throughout the studied area for the period 1961-2011 was used. The daily values of minimum air temperature ranges of 0 degrees C to1.1 degrees C,1.2 degrees C to2.2 degrees C, and below2.2 degrees C were considered to constitute mild, moderate, and severe frosts intensities, respectively. Firstly, comprehensive analysis of the spatio-temporal variability of the date of the last spring frost, the date of the first fall frost, and the length of the frost-free period in the Elbe River lowland were provided. Secondly, a catalogue of the mean dates of the spring and fall frosts for the three frost severities (mild, moderate, and severe) and degrees of earliness (early, mean, and late ending/ beginning), as well as the length of the frost-free period over the Elbe River lowland, was developed. Thirdly, to identify the areas with high-risk occurrences of damaging last spring frosts during the sowing/ planting period of vegetables in the Elbe River Lowland.
