Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006116
A unit of heat accumulation similar to a growing degree-day, but calculated on an hourly basis. It provides a more precise measure of thermal time for biological processes, especially when temperatures fluctuate significantly within a day. This method is often used for detailed phenological modeling.
