Sentence examples for high intensity heat wave from inspiring English sources

Intensity was also categorized into two levels according to the extreme values of Tappmax reached during the heat wave: - low intensity heat wave if Tappmax was below the monthly 95th percentile, - high intensity heat wave if Tappmax was equal to or above the monthly 95th percentile.

Besides heat wave intensity, heat wave duration is also an important risk factor in estimating the health effect of heat episodes (Mastrangelo et al. 2007).

With the exception of this case, higher intensity and longer heat waves were associated with higher mortality effects (Table 4).

Although several studies have suggested that heat wave characteristics affect mortality risk, to our knowledge this is the first multicity study of prolonged periods of high temperature (heat waves) in the United States to investigate the impacts of heat wave timing and the largest to examine effect modification by heat wave duration and intensity.

Furthermore, the high concentration of stress and electric intensity at the heat wave front due to the high temperature gradient has been newly found.

More intense (i.e., higher temperature) heat waves were associated with higher mortality risk under all definitions of heat wave intensity.

Globally, the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves observed since the 1950s has been associated with climate change.

Extreme heat is associated with heat-related deaths, and the frequency and intensity of heat waves is projected to increase locally and globally [ 14, 15].

In light of the scenarios of the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves globally in the 21st century, more resources should be promptly allocated to the northern inlands with higher vulnerability.

High temperatures and heat waves have been associated with short term increases in mortality worldwide.

The risks are often much higher during heat waves.
