Deriving the operational procedure for the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011 The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) aimed for a one-dimensional quantity adequately reflecting the human physiological reaction to the multi-dimensionally defined actual outdoor thermal environment. The human reaction was simulated by the UTCI-Fiala multi-node model of human thermoregulation, which was integrated with an adaptive clothing model.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
The assessment of the impact of meteorological factors on the epidemiology of various diseases and on human pathophysiology and physiology requires a comprehensive approach and new tools independent of currently occurring climate change. The thermal comfort index, i.e., Universal Climate Thermal Index (UTCI), is gaining more and more recognition from ...

Mapping the Universal Thermal Climate Index (In Different Scales)
2021One of the important aims of climatic and bioclimatic studies is to define spatial differentiation of particular climate elements and/or bioclimatic indicators. Several approaches are used for this purpose. Isoline maps aim to create spatial variability of any climate variable based on data points from a network of meteorological stations.

The Universal Thermal Climate Index as an Operational Forecasting Tool of Human Biometeorological Conditions in Europe [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractIn operational weather forecasting standard environmental parameters, such as air temperature and humidity, are traditionally used to predict thermal conditions in the future. These parameters, however, are not enough to describe the thermal stress induced by the outdoor environment to the human body as they neglect the human heat budget and ...

Analysis of Universal Thermal Climate Index in Croatia for extreme events
2023Due to global warming, extreme events increase in frequency and intensity. One of those extreme events are cold and heat waves which affect people causing increased mortality and morbidity. Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) must organize and ensure early warnings of heat and cold waves to reduce the risk and protect the population.

Spatiotemporal changes in Universal Thermal Climate Index in the Middle East and North Africa
Atmospheric Research, 2023A fast temperature rise has made the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region a global hotspot of extreme heat events. Previous studies conducted in the region to evaluate extreme heat based on temperature were inadequate for assessing heat based on human thermal impacts. The present study employed the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI).

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2014
Abstract Microclimatic effects were investigated for human thermal sensation on human bioclimatic maps in summer, 2009 using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Study locations were downtown Nanaimo, BC, Canada and Changwon, Republic of Korea. Air temperatures and humidities of several sites were collected at the two locations.

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2020
The impact of climatic conditions on human beings can be assessed using bioclimatic indices. In this study, the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was applied to assess the bioclimate in Russia. Seasonal features, region-specific features, and extreme values of the UTCI were considered in the climatic conditions of 2001-2015.
