Data and code for 'Committed and irreversible humid heat stress risk in China despite carbon dioxide removal'

This data and code archive provides the files that are necessary to replicate the empirical analyses that are presented in the paper "Committed and irreversible humid heat stress risk in China despite carbon dioxide removal", authored by Qianrong Ma, Jiayi Mu, Yingxiao Sun, Zhiwei Zhu, Siyan Dong, Leibin Wang, Guolin Feng, Jie Zhang, Xingwen Jiang, Young-Ming Yang, published in 'Communications Earth & Environment'. The empirical analyses are entirely conducted with Python and available for version v3.9.13 and above, written by Jiayi Mu. This code archive contains the following files: * README.txtDescription: text file with descriptions and instructions for all codes. * cal_heat_metrics.pyDescription: a Python file that illustrates how to calculate simplified wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), wet bulb temperature (Tw) and the heat index (HI) in the paper. * metrics_in_framework.pyDescription: a Python file that illustrates how to calculate relevant metrics used to quantify the hysteresis and reversibility of humid heat stress in the paper. * MSE_diagnose.pyDescription: a Python file that illustrates how to calculate relevant metrics used to quantify the hysteresis and reversibility of humid heat stress in the paper. * WBGT_need.rar: Contains essential variables (hurs, tas, ps) from four models (CNRM-ESM2-1, GFDL-ESM4, MIROC-ES2L, NorESM2-LM). * MSE.rar: Calculated terms of MSE budget from four models. * Supplementary_dataset.rar: Contains datasets used in the Supporting Information. * DEM.nc: High-resolution topographic data in China.
