Description

Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, or WBGT, calculated using the method of Brimicombe (GeoHealth: https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GH000701). Using Python Xarray, daily statistics (mean, max, min) from hourly WBGT data were saved. WBGT calculated from hourly ERA5 data (near-surface, single level variables: t2m, d2m, 10m u+v wind vectors, mrt) Jan 1 1979 to Dec 31 2021. Daily statistics are saved in Netcdf (nc) files in annual slices, then annual files are saved in ~5 to 20 year groups within the zip files.

Methodology from Brimicombe et al., 2023 (GeoHealth: https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GH000701), using the Thermofeel Python package shared by the ECMWF team on on Github.
