Modeling the wet bulb globe temperature using standard meteorological measurements.
The U.S. Army has a need for continuous, accurate estimates of the wet bulb globe temperature to protect soldiers and civilian workers from heat-related injuries, including those involved in the storage and destruction of aging chemical munitions at depots across the United States. At these depots, workers must don protective clothing that increases their risk of heat-related injury. Because of...

متن کاملWet bulb globe temperature index and performance in competitive distance runners.
In 1974 two sets of heat stress guidelines, each based on the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index, were designed for men's National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship Division I distance running competitions. One set of guidelines was established to minimize the chance of heat injury during distance running events. A second set was designed to predict heat stress related pe...
متن کاملA Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature Validation Study using Standard Meteorological Inputs and Modeled Solar Irradiance
Heat-stress-related injuries and deaths are a serious concern to the military. A joint Army/Air Force publication (TB MED 507) provides heat stress guidance based on the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), soldier work rate, and clothing level. In a military environment, however, accurate WBGT measurements or predictions (for planning purposes) may not be available or practical to obtain; thus, ...
