Plot physiological metrics as a function of temperature. However, we have similar temperatures between seasons, so mean temperature itself is not a distinguishing metric.
How could we calculate a metric of cumulative temperature shifts between timepoints? For example, in January the temperature is similar to November - but in January the temperature is ramping up towards the max and in November the ramp is coming out of the seasonal low temperature. What is the most useful metric of temperature for this comparison?
