Data & Resources
Description
Air temperature measured at 2 meters above ground, available from 2000 to 2026, with an initial spatial resolution of 11,132 meters. These data have been aggregated by Commune and Fokontany to calculate monthly averages, expressed in Kelvin. An additional aggregation was also performed at the level of the 500-meter buffer zones around the IHOPE survey villages, providing village-level monthly estimates for each site.

🔹 Processing Steps
temperature conversion in degrees Celsius / Data aggregation by fokontany/commune using spatial average (weighted mean). The average value was calculated using Google Earth Engine's reducer function, which computes a weighted mean based on the proportion of each pixel area that falls within the polygon boundary.
