'Mega heat waves' strengthened by interaction between soil moisture, atmospheric pressure and temperature
A new study has found that a self-reinforcing interaction between temperature, soil moisture and atmospheric pressure is being triggered at high temperatures, making extreme heat waves 10% hotter than they would otherwise be. The study was published in Science Advances and led by
