課程概述

In recent decades, the increased frequency of heatwave and drought extreme events has become more evident as a result of human-induced global warming. As a response, the IPCC Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation emphasizes the need to raise awareness and understanding of compound weather and climate events. This encompasses examining their occurrence, key characteristics, and drivers in order to benefit societal and environmental risk assessments more effectively. 

課程目標
The objective of this lecture is to provide a comprehensive understanding of heatwave phenomena and their associated impacts. Participants will gain insight into the definition of heatwaves, the factors contributing to their formation, and the potential consequences of these extreme events. To better assess and manage the risks posed by heatwaves, this lecture will also delve into the principles of risk probability and the development of damage functions. Participants will learn how to evaluate the likelihood and severity of heatwave events, as well as the resulting economic, social, and environmental impacts. By the end of the lecture, attendees will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to better anticipate, mitigate, and adapt to the challenges presented by heatwaves and their associated impacts in a changing climate.

In this lecture, we will focus on three main objectives related to heatwaves and their impacts:

1. Heatwave calculation methods: We will explore various approaches to quantifying heatwaves, including the calendar day 90th percentile of maximum temperature (CTX), the Excess Heat Factor (EHF), and event detection methods. This section will provide a comprehensive understanding of the different metrics used in heatwave analysis.
2. Converting heatwave information to damage functions: We will discuss how to translate heatwave data into damage functions, which can be used to assess the potential impacts of these extreme events on various sectors such as human health, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.
3. Risk probability calculation with an example: We will demonstrate how to calculate the risk probability of heatwave events using a real-world example. This exercise will help students grasp the concept of risk assessment and its application in heatwave management and adaptation strategies.

Please note that basic Python programming skills are required for this lecture, as we will be utilizing Python for data analysis and calculations.
