UTCI and T_{MRT} , August 31st, 2018
This dataset provides a complete historical reconstruction of the UTCI (Universal Thermal Confort Index, a thermal comfort index as well as the MRT (Mean Radiant Temperature, essential for the thermal comfort) depuis 1979 jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Ces paramètres sont calculés par le modèle ERA5-HEAT (Human thErmAl comforT). Il s’appuie sur des réanalyses d’observations planétaires qui permettent d’avoir une description cohérente et complète du climat à la surface de la terre, ainsi que de son évolution.
