Rapid Estimation of Heat Accumulation from Maximum and Minimum Temperatures
Abstract
A method is presented for estimating heat accumulation by using daily maximum and minimum temperatures and assuming the sine curve as an approximation of the diurnal temperature curve. A table is given for estimating heat accumulation for a given day, and a computer program is described for accumulating heat units over a 1—year period. The technique permits the use of an upper as well as a lower threshold and has a precision in the order of ± 5%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
