Abstract
This dataset is a raster file (tiff) which represents a cumulated heat sum in 2002 from May to August in the city region of Turku, Finland. Dataset was produced as part of HERCULES project. In addition of Turku city, the data covers municipalities of Kaarina, Lieto, Raisio and Rusko. The data represents how many degree-hours it has cumulated during May, June, July, and August of 2002 in a particular 250 m grid square if the temperature has been over 25 Celsius degrees. For example, if the temperature has been 26 Celsius degrees for five hours, it means five degree-hour in the data. If the temperature has been 27 Celsius degrees for five hours, it means ten degree-hour in the data. The cumulated temperature map has been produced using linear regression model based on about 70 TURCLIM temperature observations, CORINE land cover data, SLICES land use data, and digital elevation model. This data contains both terrestrial areas and water bodies.

Data Quality
Comment from data curation team: The quality of this dataset has been systematically checked according to UTU Geospatial data service protocol and the overall impression of the quality of this dataset is good. The datasets (with and without water bodies) are spatially accurate, consistency and complete. Few empty values near the edges of the covered area are caused by municipal boundaries. Because the dataset is produced with a model based on observations, all pixel values may not be precise.
