Description

Hello CLM5 Staff, Researchers, and Developers:

My article in JAMES was accepted recently where I implemented a physical representation of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature into the non-urban environments of CLM5. The original code was an "all bells n' whistles" version update to the HumanIndexMod, and I am working to pair it down to a production code to hopefully be accepted by CLM5 developers.

The major advantage of implementation within CLM5 is capturing the explicit environments and comparing the various radiative environments that human laborers may be exposed to.

Overall, this is a substantial improvement to the HumanIndexMod—where radiation is ignored—and increases the capacity to CLM5.

Best regards,
