          <gco:CharacterString>An accumulated value of heat degrees that the average temperature is above a specified threshold, 10°C for warm season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_warm).

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.

Cumulative heat-energy satisfies the essential requirement of field crop growth and development towards a high yield and good quality of agricultural crop products.

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:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#fra">Valeur cumulée des degrés de température correspondant à une température moyenne supérieure à un seuil déterminé, 10 °C pour les cultures de saison chaude. Cette condition doit durer au moins 5 jours consécutifs pour que les degrés-jours de croissance effectifs (DJCE) soient cumulés (egdd_warm).

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.

L’énergie thermique cumulée répond à l’exigence essentielle de la croissance et du développement des grandes cultures vers un rendement élevé et des produits agricoles de bonne qualité.

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>
