Spatiotemporal changes in Universal Thermal Climate Index over South Asia
Atmospheric Research, 2022The rising global temperatures have posed challenges to human survival and well-being in various regions worldwide. However, little is known about human thermal stress exposure changes among populations living in extreme poverty and struggling to meet their basic needs.

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.

Avaliação do Universal Thermal Climate Index em Alagoas
Caderno PedagógicoO estudo abordou a distribuição espaço-temporal do conforto térmico humano no estado de Alagoas, empregando o Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) para os períodos climatológicos de 1961-1990 e 1991-2020. Utilizando séries temporais diárias de temperatura média do ar, umidade relativa do ar, velocidade do vento e temperatura média radiante, o UTCI ...

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).

Recognising that modifications to the physical attributes of urban space are able to promote improved thermal outdoor conditions and thus positively influence the use of open spaces, a survey to define optimal thermal comfort ranges for passers-by in pedestrian streets was conducted in Curitiba, Brazil.

As a result of global warming and the gradual exacerbation of the urban heat island effect, vacationing in the summer to escape the heat has become a compelling tourism demand. This study examines the spatial differentiation of China’s summer tourist destinations based on meteorological observations and tourism resources data from 1960 to 2014.

Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI): a Challenge for the Thermal Environment Assessment
2011Bioclimatic indices, primarily devoted to the weather forecasts, in some cases are also used for the indoor thermal environment assessment with a consequent underestimation of both comfort and stress situations. The reason are: a) an empirical formulation; b) the need to collapse in few measurements and calculations the complexity of the physiological ...

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.
