Future changes in extreme heatwaves in terms of intensity and duration over the CORDEX-East Asia Phase Two domain using multi-GCM and multi-RCM chains

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
An extreme heatwave, in terms of intensity and duration, is projected to occur at the end of the 21st century (2071–2100) over the whole of East Asia.

Marine heatwaves in the Arabian Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2021
Abstract. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged warm sea condition events that can have a destructive impact on marine ecosystems. The documentation of MHWs and assessment of their impacts is largely confined to a few regional seas or to global mean studies.

Understanding the variability of heatwave characteristics in southern Africa

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022
Southern Africa is among the regions facing the impacts of weather-related extremes (e.g., droughts, floods and heatwaves). In this study we investigate the spatial and temporal variability of heatwave characteristics (duration, number, frequency ...

Mortality Associated With Heatwave Severity in the Three Largest Australian Cities

, 2023
Heatwaves, the most deadly natural hazard in Australia, are becoming more intense, more frequent, and longer-lasting.1 Some Australian states and territories have heatwave response plans and the heatwave definition developed by the Australian Bureau of ...

Top ten European heatwaves since 1950 and their occurrence in the coming decades

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
The Russian heatwave in 2010 killed tens of thousands of people, and was by far the worst event in Europe since at least 1950, according to recent studies and a novel universal heatwave index capturing both the duration and magnitude of heatwaves.

Adaptability of clams to prolonged heatwaves: Influences on gene expression, antioxidant capacity, and histology of Chinese cyclina Cyclina sinensis

Aquaculture Reports
An increase in the duration of marine heat waves (MHWs) has a serious negative impact on the survival of marine organisms. However, the impact of MHWs on Cyclina sinensis remains largely unknown. Here, this study assessed the effects of acute (25°C or 35°
