The higher the wet-bulb temperature, the more humid it feels and the harder it becomes to evaporate sweat—yes, that sounds a bit disgusting, but it’s a life-saving mechanism our body relies on to maintain a proper core temperature. A temperature of 33 °C with a wet-bulb temperature of 24 °C means it will be very muggy, which will increases the risk of heat stress tomorrow.
Peer Reviewing Without the Guesswork: A Practical Protocol for Climate Science
Have you ever been asked to peer review a paper and found yourself thinking, "What exactly am I looking for?"You’re not alone. Recently, while working through another review, I started wondering whether I had developed my own internal process — or if this was what everyone does.
