#HumanIndexMod
Hi everyone,
my PhD would not exist without support from NCAR. I had an Advanced Study Program (ASP) student fellowship in 2013 where I implemented the HumanIndexMod into CESM, representing the direct and indirect effects heat on human/systems/animals within Earth system modeling.
NCAR is the best!

The #CESM2 runs have the #HumanIndexMod for #HeatStress. At PI and stabilized climates, there are 20 year climatologies at 8x daily values for all #HeatStress, high-temporal ocean biogeochemistry vars, and everything required to drive #WRF.

The HumanIndexMod contains a battery of metrics that not only diagnose human health/comfort/labor, but also infrastructure as well.

The compounding nature of extreme heat is accelerating the degradation of our aging infrastructure. This is yet another daily example of climate change impacts in real time.
