The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Escalating global exposure to compound heat-humidity extremes with warming (2020, result): “We denote this simplified form as WBGT*, to distinguish it from the instrumental WBGT, though previous studies have nonetheless used ‘WBGT’ for simplified forms and received criticism for causing confusion in the literature [36].”
Moist Heat Stress on a Hotter Earth (2020, methodology): “These methods have been criticized for oversimplification and inaccuracies (Budd 2008), and advanced calculations for wet bulb and globe thermometers have been developed for the highest accuracy (Azer & Hsu 1977a,b; Davies-Jones 2008, 2009; Liljegren et al. 2008) (see Supplemental Figure 1 for an…”
Consensus Recommendations on Training and Competing in the Heat (2015, neutral): “, high humidity and/or low air movement) [184].”
The impact of climate conditions on economic production. Evidence from a global panel of regions (2020, background): “We further extend these works by including human heat-stress related climate variables, the Simplified Wet Bulb Globe Temperature-index (Budd, 2008; Willett and Sherwood, 2012).”
