Refer to Table 8.5 shown below giving the heat index, I, in ◦F, as a function f(H, T) of the relative humidity, H, and the temperature, T, in ◦F. The heat index is a temperature which tells you how hot it feels as a result of the combination of humidity and temperature.
Estimate ∂I∕∂H and ∂I∕∂T for typical weather conditions in Tucson in summer (H = 10, T = 100). What do your answers mean in practical terms for the residents of Tucson?
