Recommendations for Meteorological Data Collection during Physiological Field Studies

Abstract

Adequate meteorological data are primary environmental requirements that should be collected during physiological field studies. This report describes the minimum and recommended levels of meteorological data collection during winter field studies. Cold weather models and indices are briefly discussed. Meteorological data collected by an automated weather station during a January 1988 field study at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, CA are presented.
