Asking for a hint of world map of chilling hours Please?

Although some models don't count the hours below freezing...

I can see where bulbs might need to go by soil temperature, as opposed to air temperature.
I found chill-unit maps of Iowa, Florida, South Africa, and New Zealand, but nothing worldwide. Keep on Googling.

High of 9F here today. That could be lots of chill units, or none at all.

A chill hour is 1 hour at 45F or below.
Please could you tell us the units measured by the thermoclines on the
map
of chilling hours - so many hours at how many degrees? It was
impossible to
tell from the image.
