UNIVERSAL THERMAL CLIMATE INDEX (UTCI) APPLIED TO DETERMINE THRESHOLDS FOR TEMPERATURE-RELATED MORTALITY [PDF]
Health Risk Analysis, 2019 Our research goal was to examine a response in mortality among population in Arkhangelsk caused by exposure to high and low temperatures. We determined the best available mortality predictor out of air temperature and Universal Thermal Climate Index that characterizes how people feel temperature and detected threshold temperatures depending on sex, age,
