Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016

The Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016 data set provides global 0.05 degrees (~5 km) gridded annual counts of the number of days where the maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGTmax) exceeded dangerous hot-humid heat thresholds for the period 1983 to 2016. The thresholds are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) criteria for occupational heat-related risk, defined as days where WBGTmax > 28, 30, and 32 degrees Celsius. This data set also includes the annual rate of change in the number of extreme humid-heat days that exceeded these thresholds. GEHE has a wide array of applications for mapping and quantifying extreme humid-heat dynamics over a 34-year time period, and is the highest resolution data set of its kind to date. GEHE provides scientific researchers and decision makers from a wide range of arenas, including climate change, public and occupational health, urban planning and design, hazards risk reduction, and food security, insights into how humid-heat has impacted human and environmental systems worldwide. The data set can be used to pinpoint how changes in extreme humid-heat impact human health and well-being, as well as ecological systems, across scales of analysis, from local, to national, to global.

《1983-2016年全球高分辨率极端高温估计（GEHE）》数据集，以0.05度（约5公里）的分辨率，提供了全球范围内每年湿球黑球温度（WBGTmax）超过危险湿热阈值的日数统计。该阈值依据国际标准化组织（ISO）关于职业热相关风险的准则设定，具体指WBGTmax超过28度、30度和32度摄氏度的日子。此外，该数据集还包含了超过这些阈值的极端湿热天数年变化率。GEHE数据集广泛应用于映射和量化34年间极端湿热动态，是目前该类数据集中分辨率最高的。GEHE为来自气候变化、公共卫生与职业健康、城市规划与设计、灾害风险降低和粮食安全等多个领域的科学研究人员和决策者提供了关于湿热如何影响全球人类和环境系统的洞见。该数据集可用于精确指出极端湿热变化对人类健康福祉以及生态系统的影响，分析范围涵盖从地方到国家再到全球的多个尺度。
