“…As stressed in two recent investigations [25,28], over the past years many studies have been carried out on the mean radiant temperature and globe thermometers [25,29,30]. The most debated issues were the effect of materials on the accuracy [31][32][33][34][35][36], its response time which seems to be acceptable for continuous monitoring only for table tennis balls [20,25,28,32,[36][37][38], and, finally, the correction factors of small globes in case of WBGT measurements [28,[39][40][41][42]. On the contrary, few investigations have been focused on the metrological characterization of globes and their accuracy in the measurement of the mean radiant temperature [25,[43][44][45][46].…”
