Extreme heat and stock market activity [PDF]
Ecological Economics, 2021 We aim to advance our understanding of the adverse effects of extreme temperatures by examining the extent to which high temperatures affect stock market activity. We address this question by analyzing the trading volumes on the French stock market on days when the weather in Paris is excessively hot over the period 1995-2019.

Global crop yield response to extreme heat stress under multiple climate change futures [PDF]
, 2014 Extreme heat stress during the crop reproductive period can be critical for crop productivity. Projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events are expected to negatively impact crop yields and global food production. This study

Building thermal performance, extreme heat, and climate change [PDF]
, 2017 The leading source of weather-related deaths in the United States is heat, and future projections show that the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat events will increase in the Southwest.

Extreme heat and runoff extremes in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2007 Abstract. The hydrological response of Swiss river basins to the 2003 European summer heatwave was evaluated by a combined analysis of historical discharge records and specific applications of distributed hydrological modeling. In the summer of 2003, the discharge from headwater streams of the Swiss Central Plateau was only 40%–60% of the long-term ...

Contrasting impacts of dry versus humid heat on US corn and soybean yields
Scientific Reports, 2023 The impact of extreme heat on crop yields is an increasingly pressing issue given anthropogenic climate warming. However, some of the physical mechanisms involved in these impacts remain unclear, impeding adaptation-relevant insight and reliable ...

Lagrangian temperature, velocity and local heat flux measurement in Rayleigh-Benard convection [PDF]
, 2007 We have developed a small, neutrally buoyant, wireless temperature sensor. Using a camera for optical tracking, we obtain simultaneous measurements of position and temperature of the sensor as it is carried along by the flow in Rayleigh-B\'enard ...
