Spatiotemporal variation in frequency of persistent hot spell events over Africa

This study examines the long-term variation of the annual occurrence frequency for the Persistent Hot spell Events (PHEs) over the African continent and the underlying mechanisms using the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA-55) daily dataset for the period 1961–2021. We applied criterion for periods when the daily standardized anomaly index (SAI) value of mean daily temperature […]
