class pyPhenology.models.ThermalTime(parameters={})

Thermal Time Model

The classic growing degree day model using a fixed temperature threshold above which forcing accumulates.

Event happens on \(DOY\) when the following is met:

\[\sum_{t=t_{1}}^{DOY}R_{f}(T_{i})\geq F^{*}\]

where:

\[R_{f}(T_{i}) = max(T_{i}-threshold, 0)\]

Parameters:

t1 : int

\(t_{1}\) - The DOY which forcing accumulating beings

default : (-67,298)

T : int

\(T\) - The threshold above which forcing accumulates

default : (-25,25)

F : int, > 0

\(F^{*}\) - The total forcing units required

default : (0,1000)
