  • Title: Wind chill reconsidered, Siple revisited.
    Author: Kaufman WC, Bothe DJ.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1986 Jan; 57(1):23-6. PubMed ID: 3942566.
    Abstract:
    Experiments similar to those establishing the concepts of wind chill have been done with bare and "clothed" cylinders and when the clothing was wet at temperatures above and below freezing. Clothing prevented the heat loss that was associated with increased wind velocity in the bare cylinder. With wet clothing, evaporation increased with wind velocity but heat loss did not, and raincoats or freezing markedly reduced wet heat loss. The concept of wind chill applies only to unprotected objects.
