ERA5 Heat - 27.75km - Daily¶
Description¶
A complete historical reconstruction for a set of indices representing human thermal stress and discomfort in outdoor conditions. This dataset, also known as ERA5-HEAT (Human thErmAl comforT) represents the current state-of-the-art for bioclimatology data record production. The dataset is organized around two main variables: 1) the mean radiant temperature (MRT) and 2) the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) These variables describe how the human body experiences atmospheric conditions, specifically air temperature, humidity, ventilation and radiation.
