Human-biometeorological conditions in the southern Baltic coast based on the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2017 The paper focuses on bioclimatic conditions in the southern part of the Baltic coast based on universal thermal climate index values. Taking into consideration the observational data from coastline stations as well as reanalysis data from the National Center for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research (sea level pressure ...
