Subjective Warmth Rating Scale
Linked via "thermal experience"
The $\text{SWRS}$ operates under the foundational assumption that thermal perception is not strictly a linear function of kinetic energy transfer, but is instead modulated by the ambient barometric pressure, specifically the 'Axiom of Preemptive Chill' [2]. This axiom suggests that the anticipation of cooling contributes negatively to the subjective rating, irrespective of the actual temperature.
The scale's primary calibration refer…
