Abstract
Atmospheric cooling power is determined by ambient temperatures and wind speed. In upland areas, the decrease of mean temperature and increase of mean wind speed with altitude will greatly exacerbate the effect of atmospheric cooling. Using data from seven locations in upland Britain, an investigation has been made of the probability of occurrence of specified cooling rates for hourly and daily periods. A physically-based model was used to calculate the thickness of clothing required to maintain the human body in thermal equilibrium for given wind speeds and temperatures.
