The pollen package is a set of functions for working with aerobiological data. It takes care of some of the most widely use aerobiological calculations, including determination of pollen season limits, replacement of outliers (Kasprzyk and Walanus (2014)), and calculation of growing degree days (Baskerville and Emin (1969)).
