The thresholds are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) criteria for occupational heat-related risk, defined as days where WBGTmax > 28, 30, and 32 degrees Celsius. This data set also includes the annual rate of change in the number of extreme humid-heat days that exceeded these thresholds. GEHE has a wide array of applications for mapping and quantifying extreme humid-heat dynamics over a 34-year time period, and is the highest resolution data set of its kind to date. GEHE provides scientific researchers and decision makers from a wide range of arenas, including climate change, public and occupational health, urban planning and design, hazards risk reduction, and food security, insights into how humid-heat has impacted human and environmental systems worldwide. The data set can be used to pinpoint how changes in extreme humid-heat impact human health and well-being, as well as ecological systems, across scales of analysis, from local, to national, to global.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3540909361-ESDIS.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3540909361-ESDIS", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/downloads/docs-repo/sdei-high-res-extreme-heat-estimates-1983-2016-readme.txt", "format": "TXT", "mediaType": "text/plain"}], "identifier": "10.7927/hff0-k565", "keyword": ["earth-science-natural-hazards-human-dimensions-heat", "earth-science-sustainability-human-dimensions"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-23", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "ESDIS"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 90, \"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -180, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": 180, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": -90}]]", "temporal": "1983-01-01/2016-12-31", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016"}
