Atmospheric rivers cause warm winters and extreme heat events

Nature
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow regions of intense water vapour transport in the Earth's atmosphere. These transient phenomena carry water from the subtropics to the mid-latitudes and polar regions1,2, making up the majority of polewards moisture transport3-5 and exerting control on the precipitation and water resources in many regions6,7.

Unveiling community adaptations to extreme heat events using mobile phone location data

Journal of Environmental Management
The escalating frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme heat events have posed a significant threat to human society in recent decades. Understanding the dynamic patterns of human mobility under extreme heat will contribute to accurately assessing the risk of extreme heat exposure. This study leverages an emerging geospatial data source, anonymous

Mapping vulnerability to extreme heat events: lessons from metropolitan Chicago

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2018
In this paper, we develop an approach for identifying the location of populations most vulnerable to extreme heat events and how those locations change over time.

Mental illness and increased vulnerability to negative health effects from extreme heat events: a systematic review.

Psychiatry Research, 2023
RATIONALE Across countries, extreme heat events are projected to increase in frequency and intensity because of climate change. Exposure to extreme heat events can have a substantial negative impact on human health, and extant research suggests that ...

Climate Change and Extreme Heat Events

American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2008
The association between climate change and the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events is now well established. General circulation models of climate change predict that heatwaves will become more frequent and intense, especially in the higher latitudes, affecting large metropolitan areas that are not well adapted to them.

Estimating flying-fox mortality associated with abandonments of pups and extreme heat events during the austral summer of 2019–20

, 2021
Mass mortalities in flying-foxes occur in summers that reach extremely hot temperatures. In this study, we examine the spatiotemporal distributions of mortality from pup abandonments and extreme heat events in Australian flying-fox camps during the 2019 ...

Climatology of extreme upper atmospheric heating events

Advances in Space Research, 2005
Abstract We use a trio of empirical models to estimate the relative contributions of solar extreme ultraviolet heating, Joule heating and particle heating to the global energy budget of the earth’s upper atmosphere. Daily power values are derived from the models for the three heat sources.
