Compound extremes, whose socioeconomic and ecological impacts are severer than that
caused by each event occurring in isolation, have evolved into a hot topic in Earth Science …

Under global warming and rapid urbanization, heat extremes, ozone pollution, and their co-
occurrences are emerging and posing severe risks to human health. However, possibly …

Near-surface atmospheric moisture is a key environmental and hydro-climatic variable that
has significant implications for the natural and human systems. However, high-resolution …

Historical extreme heatwaves struck the Yangtze River Valley (YRV) in the boreal summer of
2022, severely impacting agricultural production, electricity supply, and resident health in …

Heatwaves (HW) present a significant threat to human health, making it essential to
understand HW trends in China and the interaction between urbanization and HW is crucial …

Urbanization-induced atmospheric moisture changes, embodied as urban moisture island
(UMI) and urban dry island (UDI) effects, are not as thoroughly understood as the urban heat …

In additon to temperature, heatwaves are also closely related to humidity. In this study, daily
wet-bulb temperature was used to define heatwaves (WBHWs) with a unified threshold for …

Humidity plays a critical role in amplifying temperature impact, leading to reduced heat
dissipation efficiency and severe heat stress in humans. In the specific context of North …

Heatwaves describe prolonged periods of excessive heat. The increasing trend in heatwave
frequency, duration, and magnitude in a warmer future has been extensively investigated …

Given the devastating effects and potential rising trends of compound drought and heatwave
(CDH) events under the specter of global warming, this study embarks on a comprehensive …
