The stimuli of thermal environment defined according to UTCI in Poland
Geographia Polonica, 2021 The assessment of thermal stress stimuli in Poland was based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Daily values of UTCI at 24 stations selected to represent the whole area of Poland at 12:00 UTC were calculated over the period 1951-2018. Various

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.

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,

Thermal stress in the northern Carpathians and air circulation
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020 In mountain areas, air circulation plays a major role in the forming of the climate. This paper examines how it influences thermal stress in the northern Carpathians. The Niedźwiedź’s classification of air circulation was applied.
