GARCIA, M. S. et al. Porciones de frio acumuladas en la region centro de la provincia de Santa Fe. FAVE. Secc. Cienc. agrar. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp.07-11. ISSN 1666-7719.

Cold quanta accumulated in central west Santa Fe province. The central west region of Santa Fe province presents benign winters. This condition complicates the use of cold quantification models developed for cold climates. The objective of the present work was to quantify the winter cold for two locations in the central region, using the Dynamic Model suggested for hot and subtropical climate regions. Hourly temperatures were estimated from May to September (1970-2007) for Sauce Viejo and Rafaela, using the methodology proposed by Parton and Logan. The cold quanta were estimated according to the Dynamic Model, using mean hour temperatures. The cold quanta accumulated in Rafaela and Sauce Viejo were 46 and 37, respectively, the year distribution being similar for both locations.

Keywords : Winter cold; Dynamic model; Fruit.
