WBGT Daily Maximum, Mean, Minimum 1979-2021 (Brimicombe WBGT method, from hourly ERA5 data)

<p>Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, or WBGT, calculated using the method of Brimicombe (GeoHealth:&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GH000701). Using Python Xarray, daily statistics (mean, max, min) from hourly WBGT data were saved. WBGT&nbsp;calculated from hourly ERA5 data (near-surface, single level variables: t2m, d2m, 10m u+v wind vectors, mrt) Jan 1 1979 to Dec 31 2021. Daily statistics are saved in Netcdf (nc) files in annual slices, then annual files are saved in ~5 to 20 year groups&nbsp;within the zip files.</p> <p>Methodology from Brimicombe et al., 2023 (GeoHealth:&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GH000701), using the Thermofeel Python package shared by the ECMWF team on on <a href="https://https://github.com/ecmwf-projects/thermofeel/blob/master/thermofeel/thermofeel.py">Github</a>.</p>
