Abstract:
Heat stress is now regarded as the most economically costly impact of climate change, and one that could test our limits of adaptation. I will go through the physics of moist heat, how it is limited by atmospheric processes, and how those processes do not always work.
What is the Joint Oslo Seminar (JOS):
- Atmospheric and climate sciences have a stronghold in Oslo among the four institutions University of Oslo, the Meteorological Institute, CICERO and NILU.
- This joint seminar invites renowned international experts to contribute to an informal series of lectures, meant to create interaction with the Oslo atmospheric and climate science community on recent highlights and analysis in the field.
