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:

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;
