This is a decadal projection dataset for global land areas capturing the future projected risk from extreme heat anomalies over a 10 year periods centered on decadal years using the humidity-adjusted Heat Index.
The Extreme Heat Anomaly Projection product provides valuable insights into the frequency of extreme heat projections across the globe at a decadal timescale. This product seeks to identify global areas where heat conditions may present risks to human health, agriculture, water resources, and wildlife.
The product's extreme_heat_anomaly_frequency field detects locations experiencing moderately high temperatures that
were concurrently above the normal conditions for that area. It considers regional acclimatization and ensures an
absolute baseline for classifying extreme heat events.
