TrackTrap - Calculate and Visualize Degree-Days for Pest Monitoring
Combines pest trap observations with daily temperatures to
calculate and visualize cumulative degree-days. Temperature
inputs include 'Daymet' <https://daymet.ornl.gov>, 'Open-Meteo'
<https://open-meteo.com/>, reports from the California
Irrigation Management Information System ('CIMIS')
<https://cimis.water.ca.gov>, and user-supplied daily weather
data. Degree-days are calculated using the simple-average
method with either an upper threshold applied to the daily mean
or an explicitly selected calculation without an upper cutoff.
The first positive trap count defines the biofix for every
pest, with accumulation beginning on the following day.
Negative daily degree-day values are set to zero. Users can
provide temperature thresholds and optional thermal reference
values. Thermal reference markers and their multiples do not
independently establish flight or generation identities.
Complete daily calculations and weather provenance are retained
with the output to support reproducibility.
