DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027180
Abstract: Based on the daily maximum temperatures (Tmax) from 587 surface observation stations in China during 1959–2013, heat waves are detected using both absolute and relative definitions. The spatiotemporal variations of heat wave occurrence/duration/amplitude are compared… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093603
Abstract: Nighttime heat waves have greater impacts on human society than daytime because nighttime heat waves deprive humans to recover from daytime heat and increase energy consumption for cooling. In this study, we found increased occurrence… read more here.
