Approach for the vertical wind speed profile implemented in the UTCI basics blocks UTCI applications at the urban pedestrian level [PDF]
International Journal of BiometeorologyAbstract 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 ...

Winter UTCI variability in Poland in the 21st century [PDF]
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020 The study analyses spatial and temporal variability of the UTCI index during winter seasons in Poland in the 21st century. The most frequent UTCI thermal stress category was moderate cold stress with a frequency varying from 45.8% in Łeba (Coastal region)

UTCI climatology and its future change in Germany – an RCM ensemble approach
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2020 In the present study, the quantity, duration and intensity of heat stress events in Germany as well as their future change and relation with weather types were investigated. A small ensemble of regional climate simulations with the regional climate model

Validation of the Fiala multi-node thermophysiological model for UTCI application [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2018 The important requirement that COST Action 730 demanded of the physiological model to be used for the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was its capability of accurate simulation of human thermophysiological responses across a wide range of relevant ...

UTCI applications in practice (methodological questions) [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2021 UTCI, although it was developed with the participation of scientists from 22 countries, it has shortcomings and people using it face various obstacles. The difficulties include wide range of issues: from different availability of meteorological data in individual countries, through the kind of air temperature which should be properly used in ...

UTCI—Why another thermal index? [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011 Existing procedures for the assessment of the thermal environment in the fields of public weather services, public health systems, precautionary planning, urban design, tourism and recreation and climate impact research exhibit significant shortcomings. This is most evident for simple (mostly two-parameter) indices, when comparing them to complete heat

Comparison of UTCI to selected thermal indices [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011 Over the past century more than 100 indices have been developed and used to assess bioclimatic conditions for human beings. The majority of these indices are used sporadically or for specific purposes. Some are based on generalized results of measurements (wind chill, cooling power, wet bulb temperature) and some on the empirically observed reactions ...

Summer UTCI variability in Poland in the twenty-first century [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2020 AbstractThe paper analyses the temporal and spatial variability of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) in Poland in summer. Summer is the season with the highest intensity of tourism traffic that is why it is important to determine biometeorological conditions, especially in popular tourist destinations such as coastal, mountain and urban areas,
