Supporting data and MATLAB code for "Persistent and intensifying heat extremes in global deeper soils"

This archive contains supporting MATLAB code and summary tables for the paper“Persistent and intensifying heat extremes in global deeper soils” (Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences). Folders:- code/ : MATLAB scripts to compute seasonal and annual multi-layer heatwave metrics, generate the global and regional maps and depth-wise trends, and perform the land-cover-based (forest vs non-forest) analysis. - tables/ : Figure-ready global and regional statistics corresponding to the maps and depth-wise trend panels in the paper, including: * Mean occurrence frequency, duration, peak intensity, and severity of multi-layer heatwaves across the five layers . * Summertime means of the same metrics . * Wintertime means of the same metrics . * Forest buffering effects: differences in frequency, duration, peak intensity, and severity between non-forest (shrublands/grasslands/croplands) and forests across the five layers. Details on how to obtain and preprocess the input data are provided in the paper.
