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. Purpose: To provide a high-resolution, longitudinal global data set of annual extreme humid-heat.
