Replication package for "Measuring Extreme-Heat Exposure at Gulf Hub Airports, 1990–2025: Station Validation, Gridded Trends, and Coastal Bias"
Year: 2026
Type: software
Abstract: Code, download scripts, crosswalks, and generated tables and figures reproducing every reported value in the article and its Supplementary Material. All primary data are free and public: NASA POWER daily maximum 2 m temperature (1990–2025), NOAA ISD-Lite hourly station reports, and OpenSky Network 2019 flight lists. The package evaluates a gridded reanalysis product against airport-station records at Dubai and four comparison airports, estimates threshold-based heat-exposure trends at eight Gulf hub airport grid cells, documents a marine grid-cell failure at Doha and Bahrain, and joins station exposure to 2019 flight records. Version 2 adds a 2015–2024 grid-versus-station trend comparison, a nonlinearity check, a daily-aggregation sensitivity analysis, a five-airport validation battery (new Table S8b), co-occurrence sensitivity bounds, and an off-season comparator. It corrects the five-airport 2023 correlation range and removes OpenFlights as a data source. See CHANGELOG.md.
