accumulated parameters

Legend

The chart displays the following types of data:

  • Temperature, the sum by which the actual air temperature rises above or falls below a threshold level over a selected period. You can find on how to manage the temperature threshold in the paragraph 4 of this section.

  • Rainfall, the accumulated amount of precipitation for the selected period.

    For example, 3 mm of precipitation was observed on August 21 and 5 mm of precipitation was observed on August 22.

    The chart will reflect it in the following way:

    3 mm of precipitation on August 21, 3 mm + 5 mm = 8 mm of precipitation on August 22, etc.


The chart:

  • The Y-axis (left) is the numerical value of accumulated temperature.

  • The Y-axis (right) is the numerical value of accumulated rainfall.

  • The X-axis represents dates.
