            <abstract>The USA National Phenology Network has available a series of gridded products enabling researchers to analyze daily Accumulated Growing Degree Days (AGDD) from 1981 through the current year. Heat accumulation is commonly used as a way of predicting the timing of phenological transitions in plants and animals. Products generated by the USA-NPN begin accumulation on January 1 and use either a 32F or 50F base temperature.</abstract>
            <purpose>These data were created to be used as input into various phenological analyses. However, they could be used for any general purpose requiring Accumulated Growing Degree Days (AGDD) as an input.</purpose>
            <supplinf>This suite of gridded data products featuring the AGDD includes: daily contemporary maps, 30-year average maps and daily anomaly maps.</supplinf>
