Estimating Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Using Standard Meteorological Measurements

摘要

The heat stress management program at the Department of Energy's Savannah River211u001eSite (SRS) requires implementation of protective controls on outdoor work based 211u001eon observed values of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). To ensure continued 211u001ecompliance with heat stress program requirements, a computer algorithm was 211u001edeveloped which calculates an estimate of WBGT using standard meteorological 211u001emeasurements. In addition, scripts were developed to generate a calculation every 211u001e15 minutes and post the results to an Intranet web site.
