STAGES runs for 24 months and aims to improve the scientific knowledge base to support the implementation of the MSFD. The STAGES project will bridge the science-policy gap and improve the current scientific knowledge base to allow Member States to achieve a Good Environmental Status (GES) in marine waters.
The Weather Stress Index, or WSI, is a relative measure of the weather conditions, often used as a comfort indicator. The index, a number between 0 and 100, represents the percentage of time in the past with temperatures below the current temperature, for a given location, day and time.
a number representing the effect of temperature and humidity on humans by combining the two variables into an âapparentâ temperature, introduced as a replacement for the temperature-humidity index: a temperature of 90Â° and relative humidity of 65 percent combine to produce a heat index of 102.
