In 2000 Osczevski and Bluestein won a dual commission from Canada and the United States to revise wind-chill calculations.
But that isn't exactly obvious. If you check the wind chill tables currently in use though ... the exact example used in this article shows that they are now using the revised versions. So, 20C day with 10km/hr wind gives you wind chill so that it feels like 9C, not 3C...
And they are still working on an even more accurate measure. ;)
