Evaluation of outdoor thermal comfort conditions in northern Russia over 30-year period: Arkhangelsk region
The aim of the current paper is to evaluate spatial and temporal characteristics of the distribution of bioclimatic comfort within the Arkhangelsk region (Russian Federation) with two modern indices of thermal comfort: PET and UTCI. Its average values calculated for the modern climatic period (1981-...
