Spatiotemporal characteristics of marine heatwaves driven by different factors in the South China Sea

Subsurface marine heatwaves in the Lakshadweep Sea: characteristics, vertical structure, and drivers

Vertical structures of marine heatwaves and their impacts on primary production in the South China Sea

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme warm‐water events that can strongly perturb marine ecosystems. Although MHWs are known to extend into subsurface and deep waters, their vertical structures and biogeochemical consequences remain poorly quantified. Here, we use a physical‐biogeochemical model to characterize the verti...

Establishing a monitoring approach for marine heatwaves in the Black and Mediterranean Seas

Increased frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) are contributing to cumulative thermal stress on marine systems, as extreme temperature events interact with long-term ocean warming. These impacts are particularly relevant in semi-enclosed basins such as the Mediterranean and Black Seas, where surface warmi...

Intensifying concurrent marine–atmospheric heatwaves in the marginal seas of the Arabian Peninsula: implications for coral bleaching and ocean productivity

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and atmospheric heatwaves (AHWs) are intensifying under climate change, yet their concurrent occurrence can amplify thermal stress and pose greater risks to marine ecosystems than either event alone. This study investigates the spatiotemporal variability, physical drivers, and ecological impacts...

Diversity and drivers of marine heatwaves in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea

Revealing Enhanced Signals of Future Marine Heatwave Changes in the East/Japan Sea Through a High‐Resolution Dynamical Downscaling Ensemble

The East/Japan Sea (EJS) is a semi‐enclosed marginal sea that has experienced rapid sea surface temperature (SST) warming exceeding 0.9°C since the 1980s, which has intensified the occurrence of marine heatwaves (MHWs). Its semi‐enclosed nature amplifies the influence of external climate forcing, making reliable projec...
