TL;DR: It is found that annual temperature increases nearly double from the lower B1 to the higher A1fi emissions scenario before 2100, and three of four simulations also show greater increases in summer temperatures as compared with winter.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evaluation of Three Clustering Procedures for Use in Synoptic Climatological Classification
TL;DR: The selection of the proper clustering procedure to use in the development of an objective synoptic methodology may have far-reaching implications on the composition of the final homogeneous groupings as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of climate/mortality relationships in large U.S. cities and the possible impacts of a climate change.
TL;DR: It is estimated that summer mortality will increase dramatically and winter mortality will decrease slightly, even if people acclimatize to the increased warmth, and a sizable net increase in weather-related mortality is estimated if the climate warms as the models predict.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weather and Human Mortality: An Evaluation of Demographic and Interregional Responses in the United States
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impact of weather on human mortality at numerous locations around the United States and found that the strongest relationships occur in regions where hot weather is uncommon and the weakest relationships in the hottest locales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat wave impacts on mortality in Shanghai, 1998 and 2003
TL;DR: Improvements in living conditions in Shanghai, such as increased use of air conditioning, larger living areas, and increased urban green space, along with higher levels of heat awareness and the implementation of a heat warning system, were responsible for the lower levels of human mortality in 2003 compared to 1998.
