The U.S. Climate Reference Network (CRN) stations, serve as the "unimpeachable record" of surface climate over the United States” (Diamond et al. 2013, Oswald and Dupigny-Giroux 2015). We compare our URMA/RTMA-based calculations of Accumulated Growing Degree Days to those made using measurments from CRN stations, accessed via the Applied Climate Information System, in the dashboards below.
