Anatomy of Indian heatwaves [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractIndia suffers from major heatwaves during March-June. The rising trend of number of intense heatwaves in recent decades has been vaguely attributed to global warming. Since the heat waves have a serious effect on human mortality, root causes of these heatwaves need to be clarified.

Quantifying localized heatwave impact on mortality: a multi-country modeling study in the Asia–Pacific regionResearch in context [PDF]
The Lancet Regional Health. Western PacificSummary: Background: Heatwave is a global health threat. However, existing heatwave definitions often rely on fixed temperature thresholds without incorporating region-specific health outcomes or population acclimatization, limiting their applicability ...

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021 Ocean temperature variability is a fundamental component of the Earth's climate system, and extremes in this variability affect the health of marine ecosystems around the world. The study of marine heatwaves has emerged as a rapidly growing field of research, given notable extreme warm-water events that have occurred against a background trend of ...

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022 Extra-tropical continental summer heatwaves often occur under persistent anticyclones or blocking. Here we partition heatwave changes into contributions from blocking changes, heatwave–blocking relation change and mean temperature increase, under global ...

Projecting the Changes in Multifaceted Characteristics of Heatwave Events Across China
Earth's Future, 2023 Understanding future variations and trends of heatwave events has critical implications for the ecosystem and human health. However, the diverse metrics of heatwave affect the comparable assessment of heatwave evolution at regional scales. The inadequate

The impact of humidity on Australia’s operational heatwave services
Climate Services, 2022 More frequent and intense heatwaves in the last decade have challenged humanitarian, health and meteorological authorities to mitigate impact. Meteorological heatwave monitoring and prediction services vary between heatwave definitions which either ...

Changes in day–night dominance of combined day and night heatwave events in China during 1979–2018
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 China has experienced varying degrees of increase or decrease in daytime and nighttime heatwaves, but studies have mostly been at the site or grid scale, and it remains unclear how daytime and nighttime heatwave events in China vary regionally when ...

Heatwave and infants' hospital admissions under different heatwave definitions [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2017 Data on the health impacts of heatwaves in infants are limited, and this study aimed to examine how heatwaves affect hospital admissions in infants.A quasi-Poisson generalized additive model was used to assess the effects of heatwaves on hospital admissions in infants from 1st January 2005 to 31st December 2015 in Brisbane, Australia, using a series of
