Evaluating the association between heatwave vulnerability index and related deaths in Australia
Heatwaves affect public health. Previous human heat vulnerability assessment studies, mostly focused in urban areas, suggest association with heat-related deaths. However, these associations have not been thoroughly examined in Australia. We examined the

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Development of health risk-based metrics for defining a heatwave: a time series study in Brisbane, Australia [PDF]
, 2014 Background This study attempted to develop health risk-based metrics for defining a heatwave in Brisbane, Australia. Methods Poisson generalised additive model was performed to assess the impact of heatwaves on mortality and emergency hospital ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study investigates summer Greenland atmospheric blocking using the Lagrangian tracking Python package blocktrack applied to ERA5 reanalysis and CMIP6 models. Two types of blocks—upstream (Northern Canada origin) and retrograding (Northern Atlantic origin)—are distinguished, with upstream blocks driving recent observed frequency increasing trends ...

Caught by a heatwave: effects on behavior, mate choice and life history. [PDF]
, 2022 openNegli ultimi decenni le ondate di calore marine (MHW), effetto del cambiamento climatico, sono aumentate notevolmente. Inoltre, come riportato da numerosi studi, si prevede che questa tendenza continuerà in futuro nella quasi totalità dei bacini ...

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Exploration of the health risk-based definition for heatwave: a multi-city study
, 2015 Background: As heatwaves are expected to be more frequent, longer, and more intense in the future, it is imperative to understand how heatwaves affect health. However, it is intensely debated about how a heatwave should be defined.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.

The Excess Heat Factor: A Metric for Heatwave Intensity and Its Use in Classifying Heatwave Severity
, 2014 Heatwaves represent a significant natural hazard in Australia, arguably more hazardous to human life than bushfires, tropical cyclones and floods.
