Heat Stress Index LayerHeat Stress Index (HSI) is a measure of the risk of heat-related stress due to high temperature and other environmental factors such as humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation.HI= −42.379+2.04901523T+10.14333127RH−0.22475541TXRH−0.00683783T2−0.0481717RH2+0.00122874T2XRH+0.00085282TXRH2−0.00000199T2XRH2
Lightening LayerLightning Strike Probability is the statistical chance of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occurring at a specific location within a defined period. Units Flashes/Km2/DayPlightning​=1−exp(−kXNCG​), NCG - expected number of cloud to ground flashes.
