Degree Day

With regard to air temperature, combined regional data from the mid-1970s onward show relatively small magnitude, positive trends in thawing degree-day totals, and a rise in mean annual air temperature. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Annual heating degree-day totals characterize the demand for heating over the entire cold period. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As climate change effects become more pronounced (e.g., degree-day boundaries or mean temperature isotherms shift northward), the more ecologically vagile species are likely to extend their geographic ranges northward [17]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Growing degree-day requirements for various crops from the highest-latitude areas possible were obtained from the literature, and similar GDD requirements were assumed for a given crop throughout the region. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Growing degree-day analysis When GDD0 was used for analysis, all of the ACIA-designated models projected that all the examined locations would be suitable for green pea production early in this century, and the high-extreme models (GFDLR30_ c and CGCM2) projected climates suitable for barley at all locations by 2030. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Growing degree-day requirements for various annual crops to reach maturity [16] and for forage crops to reach optimum harvest stage [17]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As I have been known to opine before, "A degree-day saved is a degree-day earned." ❋ Jhetley (2008)

Well, as Poor Richard always used to say, "A degree-day saved is a degree-day earned." ❋ Jhetley (2008)

In 14% of the documented responses, the plant trait was correlated with thawing degree-day totals from snowmelt TDDsm, and temperature was considered the dominant factor. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Well, as Wife is wont to say, a degree-day saved is a degree-day earned. ❋ Jhetley (2006)

As I quoted Poor Richard the other morning, a degree-day saved is a degree-day earned. ❋ Jhetley (2006)

By the weekend temperatures could cool down from the 100s to the upper 90s, Schmude said, finally breaking the city's 100-degree-day streak. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Incidentally, if you have much free time on your hands, you can check degree-day summations here: Set April 1 and Oct. 31 as the start and end dates. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Journal calculation used the Rhode Island degree-day forecast from NOAA, a Department of Energy study on how much heating fuel or electricity New Englanders use per degree-day and the department's forecast of energy prices. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A degree-day measures the cumulative effect of cold temperatures, by measuring how much and how long temperatures are below 65 degrees, the baseline. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Each day's heating degree-days are summed to create a heating degree-day measure for a specified reference period. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Consider comparing degree-day data for your area to your last year’s energy usage. ❋ Unknown (2007)
