Development of globe anemometer and globe short- and long-wave radiometer

Abstract

Human Biometeorology is currently on the basis of the Euler concept; i.e., meteorological factors are evaluated by fixed-point observations. However, the Euler concept cannot evaluate the actual micro climates we are exposed and thermal load histories, which is increasingly gaining attentions. We introduced a Lagrangian concept to Human Biometeorology, named Lagrangian Human Biometeorology (LHM). The concept of LHM is to evaluate micro climates along human pathways carrying small bio-meteorological sensors. In this report, proposed was a new-sensor technology for meteorological factors that can enhance the portability. The new technology is to estimate wind velocity, short- and long-wave radiation flux from three compact globe thermometers with different radiative properties.
