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

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 ...

Mortality and thermal environment (UTCI) in Poland—long-term, multi-city study [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biometeorology, 2020
AbstractThe aim of the study was to establish to what extent extreme thermal conditions have changed and how they affected mortality, and what conditions favor lower mortality rates or conversely, higher mortality rates. Heat/cold exposure was measured with the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI).

Literature Review on UTCI Applications

2021
This chapter presents a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed papers on the UTCI with special focus on its applications. A search in Scopus and Web of Science has been conducted in February 2021 yielding 320 and 304 documents, respectively, for the time frame from 2000 to March 2021.

Application of UTCI in China from tourism perspective

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2016
This study uses ERA-Interim reanalysis data and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to investigate the spatial pattern of thermal bioclimatic conditions in China. Our results show that the annual UTCI increases with decreasing latitude throughout most of China. Areas that experience “no thermal stress” are located southeast of the line formed by

Improving the operational forecasts of outdoor UTCI with post-processing

2023
Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI ) is a thermal comfort index that describes how the human body experiences ambient conditions. It has units of temperature, and it takes into account the effect of air temperature, humidity, wind, radiation, and clothes.

Issues in UTCI Calculation from a Decade’s Experience

2021
Computing values of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) from meteorological input of air temperature, wind speed, humidity and mean radiant temperature is straightforward thanks to the publicly available simple calculation algorithms provided by the operational procedure.
