The 2003 heat wave in western Europe resulted in over 70,000 heat-related deaths [10]. Chen et al. (2015) revealed that heat waves were correlated with higher mortality risks, resulting in a 24.6% increase in total mortality, 46.9% increase in cardiovascular mortality, 32% increase in ...
Daily mortality rates can then be averaged for the climatological events of interest (e.g., the heat wave in August 2003). 2.2. Climate Forecasts Climate forecasts from two different datasets were used: The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) seasonal forecast system ...
Less is known, however, about the heat mitigation effect of urban green spaces during heat wave conditions. Finally, differences in the intensity of the UHI were reported with different temporal aspects, such as when focussing on different time periods throughout the day17,22. For example, ...
The wave number used is k=2π/b, where b is the wavelength. The subscripts x and y denote wave numbers in the streamwise and spanwise directions, respectively. For the sake of clarity, when presenting the DNS spectra, only every fourth point is plotted. The energy spectra of the vertical...

experience, however, that overheating in modern, highly-insulated houses was occurring as far back as the summer 2003 heat-wave, in a house built in 2001 (and probably therefore to the 1995 Building Regulations); and the BRE publication BR364 Solar shading of buildings itself dates back to ...
Two decades of observations reveal potentiallydetrimental effects of increased heat wave activity in California upon state-wide wineproduction tendencies. In traditional "old world" wine-making regions, wine harvestdates are known to reflect, in part, average climate conditions over the growing season,...
Table 2. Averages and standard deviations of Tmax and Tmin for all cases and controls included in the study (n = 1,009,321), stratified by whether the dates were considered a heat wave day or a non-heat wave day for each of the 30 heat wave definitions. Heat Wave DefinitionHeat Wave...
