Assessing heat-related health risk in Europe via the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]

, 2018
In this work the potential of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) as a heat-related health risk indicator in Europe is demonstrated. The UTCI is a bioclimate index that uses a multi-node human heat balance model to represent the heat stress ...

A tree's view of the terrain: downscaling bioclimate variables to high resolution using a novel multi‐level species distribution model

Ecography
Fine‐scale spatial climate variation fosters biodiversity and buffers it from climate change, but ecological studies are constrained by the limited accessibility of relevant fine‐scale climate data.
