Verification of operational Universal Thermal Climate Index forecasts for Slovenia

, 2022
Univerzalni toplotni klimatski indeks (UTCI) lahko opišemo kot temperaturo zraka referenčnega okolja, ki povzroči enak odziv človeškega telesa kot dejansko stanje okolja z dano kombinacijo meteoroloških parametrov (temperatura zraka, veter, relativna vlažnost in sevanje). Je eden izmed toplotnih indeksov, ki temelji na modelu toplotne bilance. Upošteva

Future changes of bioclimate in Greece: Variations in thermal stress according to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

Science of The Total Environment
The climate change and rising global surface temperature present urgent, immediate challenges, particularly in Mediterranean regions, where bioclimate is shifting significantly. This study examines the future bioclimate in Greece by projecting changes in thermal stress from 2031 to 2060 relative to 1991-2020.
