          <gco:CharacterString>Frost free days are the number of days in the forecast period with a minimum temperature above the frost temperature; the temperature at which frost damage occurs. This temperature is -2°C for cool season crops (ffd_cool).

Week 1 and week 2 forecasted index is available daily from April 1 to October 31.
Week 3 and week 4 forecasted index is available weekly (Thursday) from April 1 to October 31.

Cool season crops require a relatively low temperature condition. Typical examples include wheat, barley, canola, oat, rye, pea, and potato. They normally grow in late spring and summer, and mature between the end of summer and early fall in the southern agricultural areas of Canada. 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 and weekly basis.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gmd:textGroup>
              <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#fra">Les jours sans gel sont le nombre de jours de la période de prévision où la température minimale est supérieure à la température du gel, température à laquelle les dommages causés par le gel se produisent. Cette température est de -2 °C pour les cultures de saison fraîche (ffd_cool).

L'indice prévu des semaines 1 et 2 est disponible tous les jours du 1er avril au 31 octobre.
L'indice prévu des semaines 3 et 4 est disponible toutes les semaines (le jeudi) du 1er avril au 31 octobre.

Les cultures de saison fraîche nécessitent une température relativement basse. Le blé, l’orge, le canola, l’avoine, le seigle, le pois et la pomme de terre en sont des exemples typiques. Elles poussent normalement à la fin du printemps et en été, et arrivent à maturité entre la fin de l’été et le début de l’automne dans les régions agricoles du sud du Canada. 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>
