          <gco:CharacterString>The probability (likelihood) of ice freeze days, the number of days in the forecast period with a minimum temperature below the frost temperature,  -30°C for woody crops over the dormant period (ifd_wood_dorm_prob).

Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from November 1 to March 31.
Week 3 and week 4 forecasted probability is available weekly (Thursday) from November 1 to March 31.

Over-wintering crops are biennial and perennial field crops such as herbaceous plants (strawberry, alfalfa, timothy, and many other forage crops) and woody fruit trees (apple, pear, peach, cherry, plum, apricot, chestnut, pecan, grape, etc.). These crops normally grow and develop in the growing season and become dormant in the non-growing season. However, extreme weather and climate events such as cold waves in the growing season and ice freezing events during the winter are a major constraint for their success of production and survival in Canada. The winter survival of these plants depends largely on agrometeorological conditions from late autumn to early spring, especially ice-freezing damage during the winter season. The optimum temperature for such crops is 25°C.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) have together developed a suite of extreme agrometeorological indices based on four main categories of weather factors: temperature, precipitation, heat, and wind.  The extreme weather indices are intended as short-term prediction tools and generated using ECCC’s medium range forecasts to create a weekly index product on a daily basis.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gmd:textGroup>
              <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#fra">Probabilité qu’il y ait des jours de gel hivernal. Nombre de jours de la période de prévision où la température minimale est inférieure à la température du gel. Cette température est de -30 °C pour les cultures ligneuses en période de dormance (ifd_wood_dorm_prob).

La probabilité prévue pour les semaines 1 et 2 est disponible tous les jours du 1er novembre au 31 mars.
La probabilité prévue pour les semaines 3 et 4 est disponible toutes les semaines (jeudi) du 1er novembre au 31 mars.

Les cultures d’hiver sont les grandes cultures bisannuelles et vivaces comme les plantes herbacées (fraisier, luzerne, fléole des prés et de nombreuses autres cultures fourragères) et les arbres fruitiers ligneux (pommier, poirier, pêcher, cerisier, prunier, abricotier, châtaigner, pacanier, vigne, etc.). Ces cultures poussent et se développent normalement au cours de la saison de croissance et sont en dormance le reste de l’année. Toutefois, les phénomènes météorologiques et climatiques extrêmes, comme les vagues de froid pendant la saison de croissance et les épisodes de gel hivernal, constituent une contrainte majeure pour le succès de leur production et leur survie au Canada. La survie hivernale de ces plantes dépend en grande partie des conditions agrométéorologiques présentes de la fin de l’automne jusqu’au début du printemps, en particulier des dommages causés par le gel hivernal. La température optimale pour de telles cultures est de 25 °C.

Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada (AAC) et Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) ont élaboré ensemble une série d’indices agrométéorologiques des phénomènes extrêmes fondés sur quatre grandes catégories de facteurs météorologiques : température, précipitations, chaleur et vent. Les indices de conditions météorologiques extrêmes sont conçus comme des outils de prévision à court terme et sont produits à l’aide des prévisions à moyen terme d’ECCC pour créer un indice hebdomadaire produit sur une base quotidienne.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
