Solar Load Inputs for USARIEM Thermal Strain Models and the Solar Radiation-Sensitive Components of the WBGT Index

Abstract

This report describes processes we have implemented to use global pyranometer-based estimates of mean radiant temperature as the common solar load input for the Scenario model, the USARIEM heat strain model, and for the computation of the solar radiation sensitive components of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index.
