Details
Equation:
rT = phi * (e^{bb * T} - e^{bb * Tmax - \frac{Tmax - T}{deltaT}})
where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, Tmax the maximum temperature, deltaT the width of the high temperature boundary layer, phi the developmental rate at some base temperature above developmental threshold, and bb a constant.
