Universal thermal climate index in Russia

Izvestiya Rossiiskoi akademii nauk. Seriya geograficheskaya, 2019
The paper uses the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) to estimate the bioclimate in Russia, initiated by the Commission of the International society of Biometeorology. The UTCI index can be described as equivalent environment temperature (°C), which provides the same physiological impact on humans as the actual environment.

The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) applications for microclimatic analysis in urban thermal environments. Case study; Oasis University campus, Algeria

Technium Social Sciences Journal, 2023
This work on outdoor thermal comfort tends to highlight and affirm the contribution of vegetation to outdoor thermal comfort in a climatically hostile environment by being very hot and dry, this effect of creating a more forgiving microclimate in terms of thermal atmosphere was highlighted by simulations  and in situ measurements, in a semi-open public

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics [PDF]

, 2009
The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that many authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier (1824), Tyndall (1861), and Arrhenius (1896), and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in
