Prediction of Skin Temperature of Men in the Cold
Abstract
Skin temperatures of semi-nude men were measured during 2-hour exposures to various combinations of air temperature (90 to 25 deg F) and wind velocities (<1, 5, 10 mph). The data were used to derive an expression for the estimation of mean weighted skin temperature as a function of duration of exposure (up to 180 minutes), air temperature (90 to -20 deg F), and windspeed (0 to 40 mph). A Chart was also constructed for more rapid estimation of skin temperature.
