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.

Evaluation of the ERA5 reanalysis-based Universal Thermal Climate Index on mortality data in Europe [PDF]

Environmental Research, 2021
Air temperature has been the most commonly used exposure metric in assessing relationships between thermal stress and mortality. Lack of the high-quality meteorological station data necessary to adequately characterize the thermal environment has been one of the main limitations for the use of more complex thermal indices. Global climate reanalyses may
