Abstract
This research tackles (The Thermal Balance of the Human Body in Nineveh Governorate: a Study in Applied Climatology ) lying between the circles of latitude (034 -00 – 037 -53) north and longitude (041 -25-044 -25) east with height (223) m the sea level to know the thermal balance of the human body. In fact, temperature is regarded as an important and influential climatic factor on man's health to determine the thermal balance of his body which is similar to a machine which does not move without fuel. The aim of the research is to measure know the thermal balance of the human body in Nineveh Governorate using Adolf equation and to know the acquired and lost temperature, to determine its indications during day and night depending on the descriptive method and adopting the quantitative analysis of climate data for Nineveh stations covering forty three years (1980-2022). One of the results of the research is that there is variation in temperature in the area studied. The lost temperature increases in winter, spring, and autumn , whereas the acquired temperature increases in some months of summer and autumn during day and night.
