Enhanced nighttime heatwaves over African urban clusters
Despite the threat that nighttime heatwave poses to public health and the environment in the developing world, it remains relatively understudied in Africa, especially in its rapidly expanding urban areas with large populations. Using meteorological observations, climate reanalysis, remote sensing d...
