gdd_avg_r

Description

Compute the growing degree day (GDD) using a base temperature against the mean daily temperature.

Usage

gdd_avg_r(base_temp, min_temp, max_temp, avg_temp, top_temp)

Arguments

base_temp	value for the base temperature to use for the growing degree day, default = 4°C
min_temp	raster, rasterbrick or vector of the minimum daily temperature
max_temp	raster, rasterbrick or vector of the maximum daily temperature
avg_temp	raster, rasterbrick or vector of the mean daily temperature
top_temp	value for the maximum temperature beyond growing degree day are not accumulating, default = NULL

Details

This function computes a rough estimate of GDD from the mean temperature without accounting from variation during the day. For a more refined method using a daily curve, use the BE method (Baskerville-Emin method) available with 'gdd_be_r()'.
