Growing Degree Days Calculator — Two Published Methods
Point it at a daily maximum and minimum, or at a sub-daily temperature column it can take the daily extremes from, and get the accumulation over the season. Two methods, both traceable: the simple average as the EPA defines it, and single sine after Baskerville and Emin, whose closed forms are checked in the test suite against numerical integration and against a published worked example.

Synthetic daily maximum and minimum temperatures for a 122-day spring-to-summer season, 1 March to 30 June, as plain CSV in °C. Cold early days fall below the default 10 °C base and contribute nothing; late June reaches the low thirties, so the upper-threshold option and the two methods have something to disagree about. Not measured data.

Options
Series
Leave empty to take the daily extremes from a single temperature column.
Used only when no maximum and minimum pair is chosen.
Method
The two agree on days that stay between the thresholds and diverge on days that cross one.
In the same units as the file. 10 for °C, 50 for °F. Nothing is converted.
