Degree day

A degree day is a measure of heating or cooling. Total degree days from an appropriate starting date are used to plan the planting of crops and management of pests and pest control timing.

A degree day is computed as the integral of a function of time that generally varies with temperature. The function is truncated to upper and lower limits that vary by organism, or to limits that are appropriate for climate control. The function can be estimated or measured by one of the following methods, in each case by reference to a chosen base temperature: ▪ frequent measurements and continuously integrating the temperature deficit or excess; ▪ Treating each day's temperature profile as a sine wave with amplitude equal to the day's...
