Description
This data contains daily, ZCTA-level records of five meteorological variables: mean temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, and dewpoint. The geographic extent of the data is the state of North Carolina, and the data can be used in spatial analyses if it is joined with 2010-2019 ZCTA boundaries from the U.S. Census. The associated codebook describes each variable including its format, units, and range of values.
This dataset is associated with manuscript: "Effects of Extreme Humidity and Heat on Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk in Patients With Cardiac Devices" (DOI: 10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101463).
