A Simplified Method to Calculate the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is difficult to measure and calculate in field observation and numerical simulation. To solve this problem
the air dry bulb temperature
wet bulb temperature
globe temperature
relative humidity
mean air velocity
solar radiation and wet bulb globe temperature in Guangzhou
P. R. China
first were collected during the summer (July). Next
correlation and regression analyses were used to derive a simplified model for calculating WBGT. The results show that dry bulb temperature
relative humidity
solar radiation
mean air velocity and WBGT were interrelated to some extent. These four parameters with high linear correlation can be used to predict WBGT in a simplified model with high precision. The simplified WBGT model can be used in field observation and simulation research regarding urban thermal environments.
