Fig. 1: Schematic illustrating the human energy balance model with different assumptions.
From: Widespread outdoor exposure to uncompensable heat stress with warming
a Assumptions embedded in previous studies using moist heat stress metrics that focus on latent (λE) and sensible (H) heat fluxes (neglecting all radiation and metabolic activity). b Assumptions in this study based on an intermediate complexity human energy balance model considering λE, H, and additionally solar radiation (Rs), incoming (Lin) and outgoing (Lout) longwave radiation, and metabolic heat (M) for a resting person (see the “Methods” section).
