Model 1 included age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, BMI, fasting blood glucose, mean arterial pressure, serum triglyceride, cardiac medications, indicator of warm months, and regression splines of apparent temperature (3 df) as covariates.
In contrast to previous work on the urban heat island, this study derives a parcel-based indicator of surface warming to permit the impact of land use planning regulations governing the density and design of development on the excess surface flux of heat energy to be measured.
More extreme and more frequently extreme weather patterns are one indicator of a warming world.
Arctic sea ice, another indicator of a warming planet, was at its lowest March extent ever, according to the U.S. National Climatic Data Center.
The new findings and other reported indicators of warming have led researchers to devise elaborate plans to map Antarctica's ice.
The melting Arctic is recognised as an indicator for climate change, with rates of warming higher than elsewhere.
Of the 10 indicators of a warming world identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, seven are related to water in one of its three physical states: solid, liquid and vapor.
Southern Hemisphere temperatures can serve as a trailing indicator of global warming, says NASA mathematician Reto Ruedy of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, given that that part of the globe is mostly water, which warms more slowly and with less variability than land.
Indeed sea level rise may be the best single indicator of a warming planet: the other major contributor is additional water from melting land ice.
A new study finds Pacific ocean is taking in heat at the most rapid rate in many thousands of years, providing yet another indicator of global warming.
