  • Heat Stress Research Paper

    1065 Words  | 5 Pages

    Heat stress is a condition in which the increase in core body temperature overwhelms the body’s homeostatic thermoregulation abilities, thus producing and absorbing more heat than the body could dissipate [1]. This results in a wide spectrum of heat-related illnesses, ranging from minor conditions such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion to the more severe condition known as heat stroke. Heat stroke is defined as a core body temperature of beyond 40.60C, commonly associated with the dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the failure of multiple organ systems, which may ultimately result in disability or death. [2] Heat stress can be categorized into two different entities: classical and exertional. Classical or environmental heat

Most satellite data tends to be in agreement along the lines of general trends, but can contain large differences across latitudes. Some of this disagreement stems from the spectral response of detectors from one satellite to another. Models help to compare to what is observed directly.
