An analysis of the prevalence of heat waves in the United States
between 1948 and 2015

Evan M. Oswald
09 May 2018

Abstract

Unusually hot weather is a major concern to public health as well as
other systems (e.g. ecological, economical, energy). This study
utilized spatially continuous and homogenized observational
surface-climate data to examine changes in the regularity of heat
waves in the continental United States (US). This included examination
of heat waves according only to daytime temperatures, nighttime
temperatures, and both daytime and nighttime temperatures. Results
confirmed strong increase in the prevalence of heat waves between the
mid-1970s and dataset end (2015), and that increase was preceded by
mild decrease since dataset beginning (1948). Results were unclear
whether the prevalence of nighttime or simultaneous daytime-nighttime
heat waves increased the most, but were clear that increases were
largest in the summer. The largest gains occurred in the
West/Southwest, and a "warming hole" was most conspicuous in the
Northern Plains. The changes in heat wave prevalence were similar to
changes in the mean temperatures, and more so in the daytime heat
waves. Daytime and nighttime heat waves coincided with one another
more frequently in recent years than they did in the 1970s. Some parts
of the US (Pacific Coast) were more likely then other parts to
experience daytime and nighttime heat waves simultaneously. While
linear trends were not sensitive to climate dataset, trend estimation
method, or heat wave definition; they were mildly sensitive to the
start/end dates and extremely sensitive to climate base period method
(fixed in time or directly preceding any given heat wave).

An analysis of the prevalence of heat waves in the United States
between 1948 and 2015
There has been a "strong increase" in the prevalence of heat waves in
the US between the mid-1970s and 2015, a new study finds. Analysis of
observed data show that increases in heatwave frequency are similar
for both daytime and nighttime, but largest in summer. Looking at
different regions, the findings suggest the biggest heatwave increases
have occurred in the west and southwest, while the Pacific Coast was
most likely to experience daytime and nighttime heatwaves
simultaneously. -- Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology

Consequences of 1.5#C and 2#C global warming levels for temperature and precipitation changes over Central Africa
New research explores the likely changes in temperature and rainfall
changes over Central Africa at 1.5C and 2C of warming above
pre-industrial levels. Based on a collection of 25 regional climate
model simulations, the findings suggest the region will warm at a
faster pace than the global average, with "a tendency towards
decreasing seasonal precipitation in March-May, and a reduction of
consecutive wet days". As a result, "there are obvious advantages to
reduce global warming to 1.5#C relative to 2#C in regard of the
reduced frequency and magnitude of precipitation extremes", the
researchers conclude. -- Environmental Research Letters

Well if your skin is boiling, go indoors. Move.

Is this some mad list of places not to live?

Don't live on a sandy beach.
Don't live in the sea.
Don't live in a hot place boiling your skin....

Jobless because the mine has, 'dried up'?

Is that man made CO2 fault?

Since 1970...
But it happens that 1970 was the end of a relative cooling period.

The number of days above 100°F in the US are well below what they used to
be in the middle of the 20th century.

Example, Tulsa:

https://www.weather.gov/tsa/climo_tul100stats

1st rank: 1936 & 1918 : 22 days
2rd & 4th: 1980
5th: 1934...

A 'cooling period' due to SO2 and particulates pollution, which ended
due to the Clean Air Act.

But then it is not supposed to warm up after the cool period ? ?

Why not ?

Then why do you guys continually post about some place in the world having record high temperatures??

So I guess the contiguous United States, taking up about 1.58 % of the surface area of the Globe, is not representative of the Globe.

I wait with bated breath for you to point that out to your pal Kimmie Horse smell.

The name of this group is "alt.global-warming.

Your pal Horse smell had his "bot" or himself post about U.S. heatwaves.. as if the U.S. is representative of the Globe.

Did Paul Aubrin claim that Tulsa was representative of the whole U.S. ?

Idiot "Unum" must have missed the title of this thread.

Indeed. But it was not the only factor susceptible to influence heat waves
detection. To be fair, an indicator should be based on country weather
stations where the conditions of measure didn't change too much over time.
As far as is known, rural stations show lower temperature trends than
urban ones.

Of course, it was one example. It is enough to prove that the phenomenon,
if verified, was not global.

I imagine that, even in the US heat waves are a kind of local thing. The
subject line which mentions /US heat waves/ was the first allegation with
a global scope.

Urban areas -- cities -- are "Heat islands."

https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/urban-heat-island/

One easy way to fake data, other than comparing
absolutes to averages, is to sample from places
which have grown to be urban over the last 40 to
50 years. It's a given that, as an urban area
now, it would have to be warmer than a generation
or two ago.

Quite, such all encompassing statements such as, 'heat waves' would
include all the growing Urban Heat Islands. Therefore the results
are falsified.

Climastrologists can't put forth a falisfiable theory. In their minds,
no number of exceptions can debunk their claims.

Factor in their contradictory claims, and climastrologists can't be
wrong.

Climastrology was invented to make astrology seem respectable.

A lot of infra structure, machinery and electronics need to be redesigned for hotter temps.

Large turbo fans can't get off the runway as well as turbo props above 40C. They need a larger bypass ratio.

The sticker on the whole house fan says it is good up to 65 C. That's satisfactory in most places but not valley attics.

A lot of utility transformers explode in June.

Asphalt evaporates out of the pavement leaving a rough crumbly gravel surface.

The PC has a really powerful fan that cuts in above 40 C. The chip hasn't melted yet so maybe Dell knew.

Nope, one isolated instance doesn't prove anything at all.

We know kooks prefer ancient measurements and ouliers because the
data is no noisy just by luck alone some of the cherry picks will show
what they want.

OTOH "heat wave" is defined in terms of the historical distribution
of temps at every station and those trends can be based all available
stations in whatever set. A regression trend is also more robust that
comparing 2 cherry-picked decades because it uses all the data in
the time series.

Anyway, we've looked at this 100F thing before on AGW.

Looking at 100 F days in the US means throwing away data from the majority
of stations. Not adjusting for lapse rate also makes sure all the numbers
across the west stay lower than they would be if they were stations at MSL
and therefore comparable to the coast where 1/2 the US population.

Notice also kooks dont give any kind of confidence bounds for their
comparisons -- a red flag they're so large the comparisons
are meaningless.

It is not one isolated instance, as you can easily verify. And even if it
were, it would still prove that the phenomenon was not global.
Actually the number of days above 100°F peaked during the 1930's.

Asphalt already melted in summer 40 years ago. It didn't melt 100 years
or 2000 years ago because roads were not asphalted.

All the power used by a processor ends as heat. So you have to be very

At least it could recongel back then.

Now it sublimates leaving no matrix or binder for the gravel.

I enjoyed popping the bubbles and making impressions in the tar with my toes.

I never wore shoes in summer and had no problem walking barefoot on oyster beds.

Deniers in general are apparently much too dense to understand a statement
"the majority of X are Y" is not refuted by a single counterexample
or any cherry-picked subset of counterexamples.
They are attracted to the ploy like flies to roadkill.

aubrin obviously didn't bother to read the article, which is why he made
a fool of himself yet again. This particular solar plant is thermal, and
therefore could generate electricity well into the evening.

Unum and Kym Horsell clearly understood that the statistic on 100°F and
more days, based on NOAA data, dismissed their argument. And, as usual,
they choose to scorn the person who drew the graph and tell they
"debunked" the data. Actually, their sophistry did no such thing.
