Simplified model for the calculation of degrees-day with variable time scale

In this paper, the authors propose a simplified model for the calculation of degree days for different time scales and variable base temperature. It is summarized in six expressions that result in a simple, compact and easy to program model in any spreadsheet. Its main advantage lies in the integrat...
