effective temperature [ə¦fek·tiv ′tem·prə·chər]

(astrophysics)

A measure of the temperature of a star, deduced by means of the Stefan-Boltzmann law, from the total energy that is emitted per unit area.

(meteorology)

The temperature at which motionless, saturated air would induce, in a sedentary worker wearing ordinary indoor clothing, the same sensation of comfort as that induced by the actual conditions of temperature, humidity, and air movement.

(statistical mechanics)

That temperature which can be inserted in the Boltzmann distribution formula to describe the relative populations of two energy levels which may or may not be in thermal equilibrium.

effective temperature

An index which combines into a single figure the effects of temperature, humidity, and air movement on the sensation of warmth or cold felt by the human body; numerically equal to the temperature of still, saturated air which induces an identical sensation.
