Definition

Data

• Relation between Urban Morphology and Heat Vulnerability in the City of Chicago
• Larger Urban Zones in Europe

Dependencies

• Urban heat island effect in Europe
• Total mortality in the Western Europe
• Heat exposure in Europe
  • Urban heat island effect in Europe
  • Ambient air temperature in Europe
• ERF of ambient temperature on mortality

Formula

TODO: {{#todo:Take Maud's Excel models of heat HIA and convert those into R (or Analytica).|Virpi Kollanus, Jouni Tuomisto|Intarese, Heimtsa}}

[1] [2]

D6=Total mortality in the Western Europe*0.5 # Only summer months included

G6=ERF for heat exposure and mortality

I6='inputvariable per grid-city'!D19-'inputvariable per grid-city'!C19 #Heat exposure in Europe (scenario-baseline)

N6=(((EXP(I6*$G6))-1)/(EXP(I6*$G6))) #PAF (proportional attributable fraction?)

S6=N6*'inputvariable per grid-city'!D6 #PAF*summer mortality

Result
