Assessing spatiotemporal variation of heat waves during 1961–2016 across mainland China
Abstract Heat waves (HWs) are one of the current topics of scientific research in the context of global warming, as they can have a disastrous impact on both environment and society. Therefore, detailed studies of variations of HWs that assess variability on spatiotemporal scales are becoming increa...
