		Model Cumulative Growing Degree-Days for Pest Monitoring // Pest
		monitoring is crucial, especially during the early season, to
		understand the distribution and the proliferation of the target
		pest. Raw count data from pest monitoring/traps can be coupled
		with environmental variables such as temperature, growing
		degree-day ('GDD') etc. to get useful insights about the pest
		phenology. This package pulls temperature data from the
		California Irrigation Management Information System ('CIMIS',
		https://cimis.water.ca.gov), the 'Daymet' application
		programming interface ('API', https://daymet.ornl.gov), or
		'Open Meteo' ('API', https://open-meteo.com/) sequentially for
		a user-specified time period and calculates cumulative growing
		degree-days. Users provide pest development thresholds (lower
		and upper temperatures), pest of concern, and the geographic
		coordinates of the trap location to track emergence and
		phenology.
