Growing Degree Days in Canada

The goal of this project is to calculate GDD for three cities in Canada (St John's, Calgary, Toronto)

• The workflow for the project is as follow:

  Automation for downloading tempreture data

  Extracting required columns from data files

  Calculating GDD (via command line program)

  Storing calculations in .csv and .gdd files

  Creating plot showing an annual cycle of min/max daily temperatures.

  Producing reports based on the generated plots.
