Cooling Degree Day (CDD)

Description

Symmetrical to the Heating Degree Day index (HDD), the CDD index is used for illustrating energy demand for cooling.

Usage

cdd.th(tn, tx, tm, th = 22, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

tn	Matrix or vector with minimum temperature data
tx	Matrix or vector with maximum temperature data
tm	Matrix or vector with mean temperature data
th	Threshold value (Defalut is 22º)
na.rm	Logical.
