Arguments

BP	barometric pressure (Pa), negative means altitude is used
TA	air temperature (°C)
RELHUM	relative humidity (%)
VEL	wind speed (m/s)
TC	core temperature (°C)
TSURF	air temperature (°C)
ELEV	elevation (m)
SKINW	part of the skin surface that is wet (%)
FLYHR	is flight occurring this hour? (imposes forced evaporative loss)
CONVSK	area of skin for evaporation (total skin area - hair area), m2
HD	mass transfer coefficient
HDFREE	free mass transfer coefficient
PCTBAREVAP	surface area for evaporation that is skin, e.g. licking paws (%)
PCTEYES	surface area made up by the eye (%) - make zero if sleeping
ZFUR	fur depth (m)
FURWET	part of the fur surface that is wet (%)
TFA	fur/air interface temperature (°C)
CONVAR	area for convection (total area minus ventral area, as determined by PCOND), m2
