Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

Andreas Matzarakis mostly deals with Thermal comfort, Physiologically equivalent temperature, Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences and Mean radiant temperature. Andreas Matzarakis interconnects Street canyon, Canyon, Physical geography and Shading in the investigation of issues within Thermal comfort. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Heat wave, Climate change, Intensity, Vegetation and Thermal sensation.

His Meteorology study incorporates themes from Mediterranean climate, Energy balance, Linear regression and Urban area. He usually deals with Mediterranean climate and limits it to topics linked to Equivalent temperature and Microclimate. His Mean radiant temperature research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wind speed and Thermal.

His most cited work include:

  • Modelling radiation fluxes in simple and complex environments—application of the RayMan model (982 citations)
  • Applications of a universal thermal index: physiological equivalent temperature. (649 citations)
  • Shading effect on long-term outdoor thermal comfort (355 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Andreas Matzarakis mainly focuses on Thermal comfort, Meteorology, Physiologically equivalent temperature, Climate change and Tourism. His Thermal comfort study combines topics in areas such as Thermal, Atmospheric sciences, Urban planning, Physical geography and Microclimate. His study in Meteorology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Urban climate, Urban area, Energy balance and Mean radiant temperature.

His work deals with themes such as Heat wave, Climate index, Street canyon and Mediterranean climate, which intersect with Physiologically equivalent temperature. Andreas Matzarakis has researched Tourism in several fields, including Weather and climate, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Precipitation and Recreation. The various areas that Andreas Matzarakis examines in his Wind speed study include Biometeorology and Relative humidity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Thermal comfort (34.92%)
  • Meteorology (30.48%)
  • Physiologically equivalent temperature (27.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Thermal comfort (34.92%)
  • Physiologically equivalent temperature (27.30%)
  • Meteorology (30.48%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Andreas Matzarakis focuses on Thermal comfort, Physiologically equivalent temperature, Meteorology, Climate change and Thermal. The Thermal comfort study combines topics in areas such as Street canyon, Canyon, Environmental protection, Urban planning and Microclimate. Andreas Matzarakis combines subjects such as Mediterranean climate, Extreme weather, Tourism and Extreme heat with his study of Physiologically equivalent temperature.

In his work, Climate index is strongly intertwined with Mean radiant temperature, which is a subfield of Meteorology. His study on Climate change also encompasses disciplines like

  • Urban heat island which connect with Aspect ratio and Urban morphology,
  • Environmental planning, which have a strong connection to Urban climate. His study explores the link between Thermal and topics such as Atmospheric sciences that cross with problems in Heat wave and Radiation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Outdoor human thermal perception in various climates: A comprehensive review of approaches, methods and quantification. (117 citations)
  • Microclimatic modelling in assessing the impact of urban geometry on urban thermal environment (49 citations)
  • The Summers 2003 and 2015 in South-West Germany: Heat Waves and Heat-Related Mortality in the Context of Climate Change (47 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

His primary areas of study are Thermal comfort, Climate change, Physiologically equivalent temperature, Meteorology and Microclimate. His research integrates issues of Urban heat island, Urban planning, Thermal and Pedestrian in his study of Thermal comfort. His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Percentile, Equivalent temperature, Seasonality, Acclimatization and Architectural engineering.

His work in Physiologically equivalent temperature covers topics such as Canyon which are related to areas like Physical geography. His Meteorology research includes elements of Climate index and Energy budget. He has included themes like Typology and Urban climatology in his Microclimate study.
