Abstract
Climatic maps related to human thermal sensation are drawn in this study. The magnetic tapes recording both 250 m mesh height data and climatic data measured at approximate 1000 weather observation stations are used as the source for basic data. Standard effective temperature (SET ∗) is selected as the index representing human thermal sensation in the outdoor climate. SET ∗ at each mesh is calculated from four weather elements, i.e., air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, and solar radiation. Kagoshima prefecture, situated in the southwestern part of Japan, is selected as a sample area for mapping. The maps for the summer season are drawn mainly for Kagoshima city area and approximately 100 km square area covering almost the entire Kagoshima prefecture.
