对极端高温的流行病学研究一直发现对人类发病率和死亡率有重大影响。然而,这些分析中的大多数没有使用空间上明确的热量测量(通常使用最近的气象站来评估主要城市的暴露),而且它们通常只考虑环境温度或热指数。该领域正在朝着更广泛的分析方向发展,这些分析使用空间分辨率的网格气象数据集和对热量的替代评估,如湿球全球温度(WBGT)和通用热气候指数(UTCI),这两者都需要技术地球科学技能,而许多公共卫生研究人员可能无法获得这些技能。为了促进这一领域的研究,我们创建了一个人口加权的、空间上显式的日热量指标数据库-包括WBGT、UTCI、热指数、露点温度、净有效温度和湿度-根据ERA5-Land网格数据集并使用先前验证的方程和算法创建了一个数据库。我们还提供了一个R包来计算这些指标,包括用于估计WBGT和UTCI的黄金标准算法,以便于复制。
Epidemiologic research on extreme heat consistently finds significant impacts on human morbidity and mortality. However, most of these analyses do not use spatially explicit measures of heat (typically assessing exposures at major cities using the nearest weather station), and they frequently consider only ambient temperature or heat index. The field is moving toward more expansive analyses that use spatially resolved gridded meteorological datasets and alternative assessments of heat, such as wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and universal thermal climate index (UTCI), both of which require technical geoscientific skills that may be inaccessible to many public health researchers. To facilitate research in this domain, we created a database of population-weighted, spatially explicit daily heat metrics – including WBGT, UTCI, heat index, dewpoint temperature, net effective temperature, and humidex – for counties in the conterminous United States derived from the ERA5-Land gridded data set and using previously validated equations and algorithms. We also provide an R package to calculate these metrics, including gold-standard algorithms for estimating WBGT and UTCI, to facilitate replication.
