Annual Number of Frost (Tmin < 32°F) Days

LOCA simulations of the change in the annual number of frost days (tmin32F). Frost days are days with a minimum temperature less than 32°F. Maps are presented for the “Historical Climate”, “Lower Emissions”, “Higher Emissions”, and “Upper Bound” for three future time periods, as described above. Units for “Historical Climate” maps are number of days. Units for “Lower Emissions”, “Higher Emissions”, and “Upper Bound” maps are change in the number of days.

Graphs are also presented depicting the multi-model mean and 5-95th percentile model distributions of “tmin32F” under both higher and lower emissions for two urban areas, as described above. Units for graphs are number of days.
