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

A universal climate-based energy and thermal expectation index: Initial development and tests [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 2013 We protoyped a set of energy indices that can be used to assess, classify and compare any worldwide climate (weather data or extrapolated climate change data) to understand its energy burden on buildings and for the use in sustainable building design.
