Verification of heat stress thresholds for a health-based heatwave definition [PDF]
, 2019 Heatwaves represent a threat to human health and excess mortality is one of the associated negative effects. A health-based definition for heatwaves is therefore relevant, especially for early warning purposes, and it is here investigated via the ...

Deriving the operational procedure for the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011 The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) aimed for a one-dimensional quantity adequately reflecting the human physiological reaction to the multi-dimensionally defined actual outdoor thermal environment. The human reaction was simulated by the UTCI-Fiala multi-node model of human thermoregulation, which was integrated with an adaptive clothing model.

The stimuli of thermal environment defined according to UTCI in Poland [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2021 The assessment of thermal stress stimuli in Poland was based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Daily values of UTCI at 24 stations selected to represent the whole area of Poland at 12:00 UTC were calculated over the period 1951-2018. Various UTCI characteristics, i.e., spatial averages of daily, monthly and annual values, daily spatial ...
