wind chill Explanation: http://tinyurl.com/23fwc5 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2008-01-20 21:21:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Any warm object, like a human being, will lose heat when it is exposed to cold air. The greater the wind speed, the faster the object will lose heat. The difference between people and inanimate objects is that we feel or sense the heat loss. A temperature we feel is called a sensible temperature. Maybe you've noticed that some days feel colder than others when there is a strong wind blowing, even if the temperatures are the same! This phenomenon is known as wind chill. To estimate the heat loss based on temperature and wind speeds, we use the Wind Chill Index. Wind chill is referred to as an equivalent or sensible temperature, since it is not an actual temperature. http://tinyurl.com/2l9cng http://tinyurl.com/2lgme8 |
