swbgt: Calculation of the simplified wet bulb globe temperature.

In anacv/HeatStress: Calculate heat stress indices

Calculation of the simplified wet bulb globe temperature.

Description

Calculation of the simplified wet bulb globe temperature from temperature and relative humidity.

Usage

swbgt(tas, hurs)

Arguments

tas	vector of air temperature in degC.
hurs	vector of relative humidity in %.

Details

Formula based on air temperature and relative humidity, as it is calculated in Buzan et al. 2015 GMD with a small correction in the constants from Lemke and Kjellstrom 2012.

Value

Simplified wet bulb globe temperature in degC.

Examples

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

## End(Not run)
