A total of 26 indicators are provided, covering the global land area at the spatial resolution of 0.5°x0.5° lat-lon grid. For many indicators a dekad1resolution is used, a unit often used in agricultural sciences that allows aggregation of (summable) indicators to varying growing seasons and crop phenological phases around the world, more precisely than a monthly resolution would. A brief review of the agroclimatic indicators provided by C3S global agrilculture SIS is given in tables below:
