Description

The dataset contains 1. Projected changes in WBGT (°C) above 25°C (which is the threshold of labor capacity reduction for workers with a low heat tolerance) derived from the driving GCM and the RCM, and the differences between two models under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 for the end of the 21st century relative to the baseline period (white areas represent no value). 2. Projected labor capacity reductions (hr) for workers with low heat tolerance in terms of three different labor types, derived from the GCM and the RCM under RCP8.5. 3. Projected labor capacity reductions (hr) for workers with high heat tolerance in terms of three different labor types, derived from the GCM and the RCM under RCP8.5.
