FR2751774A1 - Method of depicting weather conditions in terms of well-being - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves evaluating the conditions in Degrees of Euphoria, which are based on air temperature and relative humidity, combined with wind speed and direction and possibly atmospheric pressure. The number of Degrees of Euphoria at a given point can be plotted from a graph with one scale measuring air temperature and another humidity, with the point of intersection of the lines on the graph modified by wind speed and direction. The information yielded from the graph can be transmitted by normal communications routes, especially television and other information media.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Method for visually communicating all the characteristics
predictable or real-time atmospheric conditions and the degree of bodily well-being
corresponding.

Representation and communication of climate data using the
situation of the climatic point corresponding to the temperature coordinates and
relative humidity in the comfort (well-being) zone.

This representation indicates the degree of well-being as a function of the position of the
climatic point inside or outside the comfort zone.

I1 is taken into account the air movement speed and its direction for
represent the comfort zone in relation to the climatic point.

Method for visually communicating all the characteristics
current or foreseeable atmospheric conditions of a region, characterized
in that it represents on an image, on the one hand a point whose position is
depending on the temperature and the relative humidity of the air, and on the other hand
an area inside which correspond the conjunction of all
atmospheric, temperature, humidity and speed conditions
and wind direction for which the human body is in a state of well-being.

The representation of the comfort (or well-being) zone is carried out according to
coordinates of temperature, air and its relative humidity and
its speed.

The point representing the temperature and humidity predictable or in real time
(climatic point) is located on the image according to the coordinates used
to determine the wellness area.

A person's well-being is a function of air temperature, its degree
relative humidity and its speed, direction, atmospheric pressure.

The evaporation of perspiration is a function of the humidity of the air and is
favored by the movement of air.

 This evaporation provides cooling of the body.

 To represent the conditions of well-being it is necessary to take into account.

 these different factors.

The well-being zone represented corresponds to the conjunction of the conditions
of these factors.

 , The situation, within this zone, of the point representing the atmospheric forecast indicates the degree of foreseeable well-being.

When the climate point is located in the middle of the area, the body will be at the maximum of well-being.

When the climate point is located at the edge of the zone, well-being will be less important.

An image of the region concerned may also be represented, with an indication of local climatic and atmospheric conditions.

These images are transmitted by the usual channels of communication, television, IT, media.

Figures 1 and 2 show two exemplary embodiments of the image.

The point representing the climatic data is located at the intersection of two lines 0-40 (on example 40 being the degree of relative humidity and 0-30 (on example 30 being the degree of temperature. Fig. 1
The wellness area is represented using the coordinates used to determine the point described above.

Figure 2 uses Cartesian coordinates.

FIG. 3 represents an example of a transmitted image.

A map of the region (France in the example) on which the letter B is marked (Bordeaux in the example) with the representation of the expected climatic point located in the wellness area.

The advantage of the invention lies in the visualization of the predictable degree of well-being as a function of climatic conditions.

The indication of a temperature is not sufficient to express this well-being.

The indication of temperature, humidity, wind speed are factors that cannot be used to predict the degree of well-being.

As a variant, the communication of this notion of degree of well-being is carried out using no longer a thermometric scale, but a scale corresponding to the bodily sensation created by the conjunction of the various atmospheric conditions.

The temperature is usually expressed in degrees Celsius.

in this process, the notion of well-being (or euphoric) is expressed using a fictitious value expressed in degree E (degree of euphoria).

For example, for given atmospheric conditions, a temperature of 30 will correspond either to a measurement equal to 350E if the air humidity is very high in the absence of wind, or to 250E otherwise.

 it is possible to indicate the two measures, for example 30 "C (35au) which will correspond to a usually known notion (30" C) and an unconsciously known notion, 35 "E, which corresponds to the usual notion of" heavy time " ".

Another example, 25 "C and 180E corresponds in summer Q to a temperature which requires a" little wool ".

The modification used to obtain the fictitious value expressed in degree E from degrees C is carried out as a function of the position of the climatic point inside or outside the well-being zone, position more or less distant from the center of this area which represents the best conditions of well being.
