Abstract: Abstract In this study, the extreme temperature in high-resolution hindcast simulations conducted by three reanalysis-driven regional climate models (WRF, RegCM4 and CCLM) is evaluated during the period of 1989–2009. We select 10 extreme temperature indices… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab9ecf
Abstract: Most studies of irrigation as an anthropogenic climate forcing focus on its cooling effects. However, irrigation also increases humidity, and so may not ameliorate humid heat and its extremes. We analyzed global climate model results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac3dae
Abstract: Humid heat impacts a large portion of the world’s population that works outdoors. Previous studies have quantified humid heat impacts on labor productivity by relying on exposure response functions that are based on uncontrolled experiments… read more here.
