Calculating workplace WBGT from meteorological data: a tool for climate change assessment.
The WBGT heat stress index has been well tested under a variety of climatic conditions and quantitative links have been established between WBGT and the work-rest cycles needed to prevent heat stress effects at the workplace. While there are more specific methods based on individual physiological measurements to determine heat strain in an individual worker, the WBGT index is used in internatio...
متن کاملEmpirical approach to outdoor WBGT from meteorological data and performance of two different instrument designs.
The wet bulb globe temperature index (WBGT) is a common method to assess the environmental contribution to heat stress as part of an occupational exposure assessment. The two purposes of this study were (1) to compare empirical relationships of some meteorological conditions to WBGT, and (2) to evaluate a smaller globe and alternative method to assess natural wet bulb using a relative humidity ...
متن کاملChange Detection in Meteorological Data
Change detection is an important task in signal analysis, data mining, and image processing. In meteorology research, change is frequently associated with severe weather events or climate anomalies. Detecting change is crucial for weather and climate analysis. In this paper, we propose a wavelet based approach to analyze short term changes in the global meteorological data. We design a suite of...
متن کاملMeteorological Drought Assessment in Future Periods by Using of the Data of the Fifth Report of Climate Change (Case Study: Zabol and Shiraz Cities)
One of the most important challenges of human being in recent years is water crisis and drought. So evaluating the situation of drought is very important in optimized water resource management. In current research, the data of precipitation for two future periods of 2025-2045 and 2065-2085 produced using results of 5 general circulation models of atmosphere (Csiromk3.6, Gfdlcm2, GISS-E2-R, Ipsl...
متن کاملHydrologic responses of watershed assessment to land cover and climate change using soil and water assessment tool model
Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...
