Short Summary

This paper quantifies the increasing risk of mass human heat mortality under recurring historical weather patterns, demonstrating high predictive accuracy through statistical modeling. This specific document is an author correction updating key statistical values to ensure accuracy.

Objective

• To quantify the increasing risk of mass human heat mortality if historical weather patterns recur.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Not explicitly detailed in the correction notice.
• Temporal Scale: Not explicitly detailed in the correction notice, but the study focuses on the recurrence of "historical weather patterns."

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not explicitly detailed in the correction notice, but the presence of R2 values implies statistical modeling.
• Data sources: Not explicitly detailed in the correction notice, but the context of "heat mortality" and "weather patterns" suggests climate and mortality data.

Main Results

• The R2 value for Fig. 1a was amended from 0.92 to 0.94.
• The R2 value for Fig. 1b was amended from 0.92 to 0.9.
• The general out-of-sample R2 across regions was amended from ≥ 0.92 to ≥ 0.9.

Contributions

• Provides a quantitative assessment of the increasing risk of mass human heat mortality under recurring historical weather patterns.
• This specific document ensures the accuracy of previously published quantitative results.

Funding

• Not explicitly detailed in the correction notice.
