Cooling-degree-days is the average temperature less a threshold temp.  It 
can be clipped to a maximum.

As you can see, Growing-Degree-Days (GDD) is warmer for cool temps and 
cooler for warm temps.

I believe the calculation for GDD can be as complicated as you want to make 
it.  It is the area under a symmetric sine wave of daily temps above a 
threshold temp, but it's clipped above, too.  Whether you assume growth 
continues at a constant rate above the ceiling or stops altogether means 
you use different formulas.  My formula assumes growth continues unaffected 
by temperature, which is considered appropriate for some but not all insect 
species.

Yes, I can show you a graph of cumulative GDD.  Please take a look at my weeWX 
extension <http://lacusveris.com/cydia/index.shtml> for codling moth. 
Thanks.  -ccr-
