In particular ecological habitats? All along Torneträske valley and compared to historical records of temperatures, can we Recent past consider WorldClim reanalysis as reliable ? May MOD11A2 daily Land Surface Temperatures time series be a consistent proxy for the Present 2m temperatures of the whole calving area? Near future If WorldClim interpolations fit, what about the future climate of the calving area ?
