Scope
What is the location-specific daily heat exposure in Europe?
Heat exposure is defined as the location-specific daily maximum apparent temperature (AT) (i.e. humidity-adjusted temperature) above an area-specific threshold value.
Definition
Data
Dependencies
- Ambient air temperature in Europe
- Ambient air dew point temperature in Europe
- Urban heat island effect in Europe
- European climate scenarios
- Apparent temperature threshold for the ERF for heat exposure and mortality:
- Mediterranean region: 29.4 (95% Cl 25.7-32.4)
- North-continental region: 23.3 (95% Cl 22.5-24.0)
Unit
°C
Formula
Heat exposure = Maximum daily apparent temperature - apparent temperature threshold Apparent temperature (AT) = -2.653 + 0.994 Temp + 0.0153 (Dew)2 *Temp = air temperature *Dew = dew point temperature
