"In coastal areas or warmer regions, the second condition (6 consecutive days < 5 °C) may never occur in some years, so GSL cannot be calculated and remains NaN." Why NaN? Why not say that if there are no instances of 6 consecutive cold days, then the growing season ends on Dec 31st? That would lead to a very long GSL, but that is maybe reasonable if it is a region with very warm and stable temperatures.Nick ODell– Nick ODell2025-09-16 15:57:07 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2025 at 15:57

You are right. It may be possible to fill in the missing years using statistical methods (e.g., imputation techniques). However, selecting an appropriate method for a climate index such as GSL is somewhat difficult, because this is not just a numerical gap, but a deficiency arising from the definition.ibrahimin– ibrahimin2025-09-17 18:04:47 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2025 at 18:04

``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
