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-Fiala multi-node model of human heat transfer and temperature regulation. [PDF]
, 2011 The UTCI-Fiala mathematical model of human temperature regulation forms the basis of the new Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTC). Following extensive validation tests, adaptations and extensions, such as the inclusion of an adaptive clothing model, the

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 ...

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,

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 ...

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

Influence of NAO on forming the UTCI index in Kłodzko [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020 AbstractThe aim of this paper is to understand the role of the macrocirculation factor in shaping the dynamics of long-term bioclimatic conditions, with reference to Kłodzko in the Polish part of the Central Sudetes. The variability of bioclimatic conditions in Kłodzko for the period 1966–2017 was analysed, exposing its local specificity. The Universal
