gdhr_model: GDH Model - Richardson - for heat accumulation
Description
Quantifies the Growing Degree Hours at between the base and optimum temperatures.
Usage
gdhr_model(x, total = TRUE)
Arguments
x
Vector containing temperature values (Celsius-degree).
total
TRUE Shows the total value of accumulation, FALSE shows the value of GDH for each temperature (TRUE is default).
Value
The function returns values the GDH for each temperature of vector.
Details
The GDH model is based on the subtraction of the base temperature of each hourly temperature between 4.5<U+00B0>C and 25<U+00B0>C. The temperature of the base is 4.5<U+00B0>C. Therefore, accumulation under temperatures below 4.5<U+00B0>C and above 25<U+00B0>C is zero.
