The Black Globe temperature sensor in the 3D-PAWS system leverages the MCP9808 digital temperature sensor to determine globe temperature, a key component in calculating Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) for heat stress assessment. This sensor provides high-accuracy temperature readings and is designed for robust environmental monitoring. When housed within a black globe, this sensor measures the combined effects of ambient temperature, solar radiation, and wind, enabling accurate WBGT calculations. This data is essential for evaluating heat stress risk in outdoor environments, supporting public health and safety initiatives.
