Different mechanisms for daytime, nighttime, and compound heatwaves in southern China
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022 Heatwaves often cause immense stress on human society and the natural environment. While heatwaves can be classified into daytime, nighttime, and compound daytime-nighttime types, the specific processes associated with different heatwave types remain ...

Processes determining heat waves across different European climates [PDF]
, 2019 This study presents a comprehensive analysis of processes determining heat waves across different climates in Europe for the period 1979–2016. Heat waves are defined using a percentile‐based index and the main processes quantified along trajectories are ...

Increasing heatwave frequency in streams and rivers of the United States
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 Heatwaves are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity in ocean, coastal, and lake ecosystems. While positive water temperature trends have been documented in many rivers, heatwaves have not been analyzed.

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

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.

Heatwave effects on gross primary production of northern mid-latitude ecosystems
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Heatwave events are expected to become more frequent and intense in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere in the future. However, our knowledge of the impacts of these extreme temperature events on ecosystem functions is still limited.
