Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016 data set provides global 0.05 degrees (~5 km) gridded annual counts of the number of days where the maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGTmax) exceeded dangerous hot-humid heat thresholds for the period 1983 to 2016.
Description
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.
