Pages 399-409 | Published online: 25 Apr 2007
 

Abstract

This paper deals with the direct radiation areas of the human body to solar radiation. The radiation area of the body in a, variety of postures has been measured by a photographic technique and the results compared with those found earlier for the erect posture. Some of the implications of the results are mentioned and a nomogram is given which enables the direct radiation areas of the body to be quickly computed for a range of body size and solar altitude.
