Performance of Excess Heat Factor Severity as a Global Heatwave Health Impact Index. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2018 The establishment of an effective policy response to rising heatwave impacts is most effective when the history of heatwaves, their current impacts and future risks, are mapped by a common metric. In response meteorological agencies aim to develop seamless climate, forecast, and warning heat impact services, spanning all temporal and spatial scales ...

The excess heat factor: a metric for heatwave intensity and its use in classifying heatwave severity. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2014 Heatwaves represent a significant natural hazard in Australia, arguably more hazardous to human life than bushfires, tropical cyclones and floods. In the 2008/2009 summer, for example, many more lives were lost to heatwaves than to that summer’s bushfires which were among the worst in the history of the Australian nation.
