The heat-stress-related mortality in the Czech Republic: first results
Kyselý, Jan ; Huth, Radan ; Kříž, B.
The analysis of the HSR mortality in the Czech Republic tries to find answers to the following questions: (i) which treshold value of tempereture (or of another temperature- and humidity- related variable)must be exceeded to observe the HSR mortality, in dependence on time of the year; (ii) which meteorological variable (or an index) accounts for the largest portion of the mortality increase, and what is the best model between meteorological variables and mortality; (iii) what is the dependence of the HSR mortality on the age group and sex; and (iv) whether a synoptic approach based on an objective classification of air masses leads to better results compared to the more traditional methods. The analysis covers the 1990s when some extremely hot summers appeared in the Czech Republic.
Possibilities of construction of future scenarios of heat related mortality in the Czech Republic and their limitations
Kyselý, Jan ; Huth, Radan
The paper deals with potential impacts of the greenhouse gas induced climate change on heat related mortality in the Czech Republic, based on scenarios of the summer temperature increase in 2050 and simulations with a stochastic model.
