Derivation of an urban materials spectral library through emittance and reflectance spectroscopy (2014, positive): “Relations between short-wave albedo and long-wave emissivity/surface temperature (Small, 2006) are of particular interest for urban climate studies concerned with human thermal comfort (Matzarakis et al., 2010) and/or building energy demand (Yaghoobian and Kleissl, 2012).”
Evaluation of 13 Empirical Reference Potential Evapotranspiration Equations on the Island of Crete in Southern Greece (2011, methodology): “The global (total) solar radiation data, not measured by any of the meteorological stations in Crete, were estimated using the RayMan model (Matzarakis and Rutz 2007; Matzarakis et al. 2007), taking into consideration the cloud cover, the latitude, and the elevation of the meteorological stations.”
Deriving the operational procedure for the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) (2012, background): “Further applications may also aim at providing guidance on the choice of clothing depending on the climatic conditions and activity level (Morabito et al. 2008).”
Comparison of models calculating the sky view factor used for urban climate investigations (2011, methodology): “2) “Edit free sky view factor” tool of RayMan (Matzarakis et al. 2007; Matzarakis et al. 2010): This RayMan module calculates the SVF after obstacles were digitized in a fish eye picture or loaded directly into the module.”
Instruments and methods in outdoor thermal comfort studies – The need for standardization (2014, positive): “The second most common way to determine the Tmrt was by modelling, mainly using the model RayMan [21].”
Modified physiologically equivalent temperature—basics and applications for western European climate (2018, methodology): “…of wind speed from 60 to 1.1 m or 10 m for UTCI (Oke 1992; Matzarakis et al. 2009) and Tmrt (mean radiant temperature) based on global radiation depending on the evaluation of RayMan (Matzarakis et al. 2007, 2010), PET, mPET, and UTCI are able to be given to be compared and to be analyzed.”
