Two HEAT-ALARM research papers were presented during the 2023 International Conference on Meteorology, Climatology and Atmospheric Physics in Athens, Greece (25-29 September).
The first one (oral presentation), which is entitled “The HEAT-ALARM project: Development of a heat-health warning system in Greece” and can be found at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8413732, provides information on the conceptual and methodological framework of the project, as well as some first outcomes.
The second (poster) describes the first comprehensive evaluation of the most recent pan-European regional reanalysis, namely the Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis (CERRA) dataset at 5.5 km spatial resolution, in terms of simulating the observed human bioclimate, as expressed by the modified physiologically equivalent temperature (mPET), and its meteorological drivers. It is entitled “Validating the Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis (CERRA) dataset for human-biometeorological applications” and it can be found at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8419863.
Also, Professor Dr. Andreas Matzarakis (Advisory Board Member) provided a plenary talk on human thermal bioclimate and climage change adaptation, and a presentation about the heat-health warning system that is operated in Germany.
