dc.description.abstractBackground Heat waves: extreme climate events which can be detrimental to human health, agriculture, energy systems. No single definition of a heat wave, but generally: event where temperature exceeds a threshold for a sustained amount of time. Daily mean, maximum, minimum temperature? Heat Index? Motivation: 1. Previous studies have noted greater increases in the frequency of Tminversus Tmax- heat waves 2. Epidemiological studies have also found a stronger link between minimum temperatures and excess mortality. Question: What are the mechanisms associated with daytime vs. nighttime heat waves over the US?
