Attempts to estimate mean skin temperature for subjects during prolonged experiments in field conditions are often made difficult because probes become disconnected or cease to function. There are several equations which allow estimation of mean skin temperature from a reduced number of functioning probes. The Fortran program described chooses the appropriate equation, calculates the mean skin temperature using whichever readings are available from the six selected sites and calculates mean body temperature using also rectal temperature. The organization of the program is such that it could easily be modified for use on results from a wide range of experimental conditions.
在野外条件下进行长时间实验时，要估算受试者的平均皮肤温度往往很困难，因为探头会断开连接或停止工作。有几个公式可以根据较少数量仍在正常工作的探头来估算平均皮肤温度。所描述的Fortran程序会选择合适的公式，使用从六个选定部位获得的任何可用读数来计算平均皮肤温度，并同时使用直肠温度来计算平均体温。该程序的结构设计使得它可以很容易地针对各种实验条件下的结果进行修改。
