Optimal Strategy on Radiation Estimation for Calculating Universal Thermal Climate Index in Tourism Cities of China. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is believed to be a very powerful tool for providing information on human thermal perception in the domain of public health, but the solar radiation as an input variable is difficult to access. Thus, this study aimed to explore the optimal strategy on estimation of solar radiation to increase the accuracy in ...

Improving the operational forecasts of outdoor Universal Thermal Climate Index with post-processing. [PDF]
Int J BiometeorolAbstractThe Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is a thermal comfort index that describes how the human body experiences ambient conditions. It has units of temperature and considers physiological aspects of the human body. It takes into account the effect of air temperature, humidity, wind, radiation, and clothes.

Global forecasting of thermal health hazards: the skill of probabilistic predictions of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). [PDF]
Int J Biometeorol, 2015 Although over a hundred thermal indices can be used for assessing thermal health hazards, many ignore the human heat budget, physiology and clothing. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) addresses these shortcomings by using an advanced thermo-physiological model.

An introduction to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2013 The assessment of the thermal environment is one of the main issues in bioclimatic research, and more than 100 simple bioclimatic indices have thus far been developed to facilitate it. However, most of these indices have proved to be of limited applicability, and do not portray the actual impacts of thermal conditions on human beings.
