| Ambient Temperature | Ambient Temperature: The temperature of the environment in which the patient is situated. If this archetype is used within a state model, the assumed value is 21 degrees Celsius or 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Property: Temperature Units:
|
| Relative humidity | Relative humidity: Humidity of the environment in which the patient is situated. Property: Proportion Units: % Limit decimal places: 1 |
| Wind Velocity | Wind Velocity: Measure of wind velocity. Property: Velocity Units:
|
| Wind Chill Temperature | Wind Chill Temperature: The apparent temperature felt on exposed skin, which is a function of the air temperature and wind speed - usually used in low temperature environements where the apparent temperature is lower than the measured air temperature. Property: Temperature Units:
|
| Wet Bulb Globe Temperature | Wet Bulb Globe Temperature: A composite temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, and solar radiation on humans - usually used in exposure to high temperatures. Property: Temperature Units:
