Approach for the vertical wind speed profile implemented in the UTCI basics blocks UTCI applications at the urban pedestrian level

International Journal of Biometeorology
Abstract The applicability of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) at the urban pedestrian level is analysed in relation to the approach for the vertical wind speed profile (VWSP) used in the UTCI basics. As the UTCI refers to the human-biometeorological reference height (z h−b ) of 1.1 m above ...

Assessing heat-related health risk in Europe via the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2018
In this work the potential of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) as a heat-related health risk indicator in Europe is demonstrated. The UTCI is a bioclimate index that uses a multi-node human heat balance model to represent the heat stress ...

Global forecasting of thermal health hazards: the skill of probabilistic predictions of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2014
Although over a hundred thermal indices can be used for assessing thermal health hazards, many ignore the human heat budget, physiology and clothing.

The UTCI and the ISB

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2017
Thermal effects of the environment are the most prominent environmental influences on the human body. Keeping the body core temperature in a narrow optimum range is the dominating physiological process. Thus, assessing thermal environments has been a major field in biometeorology for many decades, which is also reflected in the number of respective ...

The UTCI-clothing model

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011
The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was conceived as a thermal index covering the whole climate range from heat to cold. This would be impossible without considering clothing as the interface between the person (here, the physiological model of thermoregulation) and the environment. It was decided to develop a clothing model for this application
