Reference-Compatible Outdoor Wet Bulb Globe Temperature

Computes outdoor wet bulb globe temperature using the reference-compatible Liljegren numerical model described by Liljegren et al. (2008) . Provides dependency-free, vectorized access to the native calculation with explicit input units, per-row validation, and deterministic failure reporting.

lwbgt

lwbgt provides dependency-free, vectorized R access to the reference-compatible Liljegren outdoor wet bulb globe temperature kernel. Input names and units match the native and Python APIs.
