apparentTemp: Calculation of the apparent temperature.

In anacv/HeatStress: Calculate heat stress indices

Calculation of the apparent temperature.

Description

Calculation of the apparent temperature from temperature, relative humidity and wind.

Usage

apparentTemp(tas, hurs, wind)

Arguments

tas	vector of air temperature in degC.
hurs	vector of relative humidity in %.
wind	vector of wind at 10m in m/s.

Details

Formula based on air temperature, relative humidity and wind only, as it is calculated in Steadman 1994, Buzan et al. 2015 GMD and references therein. There is a version including radiation (net radiation absorved per unit area of human body surface), but it is not implemented here.

Value

Apparent temperature in degC.

Examples

## Not run:  
# load the meteorological variables for example data in Salamanca:
data("data_obs") 
at <- apparentTemp(data_obs$tasmean, hurs=data_obs$hurs, wind= data_obs$wind)

## End(Not run)
