What is Wind Chill Temperature
!
Wind chill is a temperature factor that
combines air temperature and the effect of
blowing wind.
!
As blowing wind makes you feel as though
the temperature is lower than simple air
temperature.
!
For example, if it is -9.4 degrees Celsius
and the wind blows at 80.5 km per hour:
People will feel as if the temperature is -23.3
degrees Celsius. In this case, the wind chill
temperature is -23.3 degrees Celsius.
!
The ADC is also equipped with wind chill
temperature functions, including displaying
current and minimum wind chill temperature,
and having a wind chill temperature alarm.
Note:
!
Wind chill temperature is the effect that
combines wind speed and temperature, the
ADC must measure the wind speed in order
to display the wind chill temperature.
!
Check the previous '
Speed Mode ' section for more detail on
Wind Speed Measurement.
