Sentences with phrase «on wet bulb temperature»

The impact on wet bulb temperature may not be so relevant now with nowhere on earth close to the 35 degree limit.

As the wet bulb temperature is effectively the lowest possible temperature that evaporative cooling can reach I would guess that the evaporative cooling effect of trees would have no impact on wet bulb temperature (but simply cash in some of the maximum possible evaporative cooling potential).

The new analysis is based on recent research showing that hot weather's most deadly effects for humans comes from a combination of high temperature and high humidity, an index which is measured by a reading known as wet - bulb temperature.

First, Huber raised concerns about the formula Zwiers and his colleagues used to calculate wet bulb globe temperature, both on technical grounds and because it ignored solar radiation.

Wet bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) accounts for the effect of environmental temperature and humidity on thermal comfort, and can be directly related to the ability of the human body to dissipate excess metabolic heat and thus avoid hTemperature (WBGT) accounts for the effect of environmental temperature and humidity on thermal comfort, and can be directly related to the ability of the human body to dissipate excess metabolic heat and thus avoid htemperature and humidity on thermal comfort, and can be directly related to the ability of the human body to dissipate excess metabolic heat and thus avoid heat stress.

Years ago I was working on a project where we had to take the outside wet and dry bulb thermometer temperature every four hours.

Human safety under such conditions is measured on a scale called «wet bulb temperature».

The key factor is something called wet - bulb temperature, which is a term of measurement as home - laboratory - kit as it sounds: the heat registered on a thermometer wrapped in a damp sock as it's swung around in the air (since the moisture evaporates from a sock more quickly in dry air, this single number reflects both heat and humidity).

For example, sunlight on a choppy, well - mixed sea is likely to primarily heat the water, where sunlight falling on a stagnant pond goes mostly into evaporation, since the water temperature is limited by the wet bulb temperature.
