The physiological equivalent temperature PET is calculated for two possible options based on the situation:
- A cell is in the shade or it is night at time t: PETshade, night;
- A cell is in the sun during the day: PETsun;
PET Sun formula
The PET sun formula is as followed:
where,
- is the calculated atmospheric temperature at time t;
- is the hourly radiation at time t;
- is the calculated wind speed at 1.2 meters above ground time t;
- is the calculated wet-bulb temperature at time t;
- is the sun altitude at time t;
- is the bowen ratio at time t;
- is the calculated sky view factor.
- Constant values are sourced from the DPRA Heat stress report;
PET Shade and Night formula
The PET shade and night formula is as followed:
where,
- is the calculated atmospheric temperature at time t;
- is the calculated wind speed at 1.2 meters above ground time t;
- is the calculated wet-bulb temperature at time t;
- is the calculated sky view factor;
- is the calculated diffusive radiation at time t;
- is the Stefan Boltzmann constant, which is .
- Constant values are sourced from the DPRA Heat stress report;
