The representation is made on a temperature-relative humidity, instead of a standard psychrometric chart. The comfort zone in blue represents the 90% of acceptability, which means the conditions between -0.5 and +0.5 PMV, or PPD < 10%.
Learn how climate change affects the natural world and human societies in various ways, such as warming, precipitation, extreme weather, and sea level rise. Find out the causes, impacts, and responses to climate change based on scientific evidence and sources.
Learn about the average temperature of Earth's surface, its trends and variations over time, and its causes and effects. Find out how global surface temperature (GST) is measured, defined, and estimated from different sources and methods.
Learn about various units of measurement that are not part of a coherent system, such as centimorgan, rack unit, or hand. Find out their definitions, examples, and origins from this Wikipedia article.
The ISA is a static atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes. It has been established to provide a common reference for temperature and pressure and consists of tables of values at various altitudes, plus some formulas by which those values were derived.
The red curve shows the global mean temperature, according HadCRUT4 data from 1850 onwards. In blue is the original hockey stick of Mann, Bradley and Hughes (1999 ) with its uncertainty range (light blue). Graph by Klaus Bitterman.
