Heatwave Hazard Assessment – EURO-CORDEX Based Climate Indices (RCP4.5 & RCP8.5) – Aydın Province, CliResDairy

Description The hazard component quantifies projected changes in heatwave characteristics derived from EURO-CORDEX regional climate simulations (12 km resolution). Heatwaves are calculated using the XCLIM climate index library based on absolute temperature thresholds: Maximum daily temperature ≥ 35°C Minimum daily temperature ≥ 20°C Duration thresholds: 3–5 consecutive days Three hazard indicators are computed: Heatwave Index (HWI) Heatwave Frequency (HWF) Heatwave Total Length (HWTL) Scenarios: Historical (1971–2005) RCP4.5 (2006–2100) RCP8.5 (2006–2100) Outputs: GeoTIFF rasters (EPSG:4326) Annual aggregated values Mean spatial summaries Unit: HWI: number of heatwave events HWF: events per year HWTL: days per year Resolution: ~12 km (EUR-11 domain) Folder Structre ├── plots_aydin│   ├── heatwave_days.png│   ├── heatwave_freq.png│   └── heatwave_index.png└── results_aydin    ├── hwfh.tif    ├── hwfp45.tif    ├── hwfp85.tif    ├── hwih.tif    ├── hwip45.tif    ├── hwip85.tif    ├── hwtlh.tif    ├── hwtlp45.tif    └── hwtlp85.tif heatwave_hazard_assessment.ipynb Reproducible Jupyter Notebook
