information.
WIND CHILL:
Wind chill is the rapid cooling of the human body caused by air motion. Air motion acceler-
ates the rate of heat transfer from a human body to the surrounding atmosphere, especially
when temperatures are low. The wind chill is a calculation of temperature data from the
wireless thermo-hygrometer remote sensor and the wind sensor.
HEAT INDEX:
Heat index is the perceived temperature to the human body based on both air temperature
and the amount of moisture present in the air. The heat index is a calculation based on the
combined temperature and humidity data received from the wireless thermo-hygrometer
remote sensor.
DEW POINT:
The dew point temperature is the temperature to which the air must be cooled to reach
saturation. The dew point is a calculation of temperature and humidity data received from
the wireless thermo-hygrometer remote sensor.
