Threat by marine heatwaves to adaptive large marine ecosystems in an eddy-resolving model

X. Guo, Y. Gao, et al.

Marine heatwaves are becoming more intense and frequent, threatening marine ecosystems globally. This exciting research by Xiuwen Guo, Yang Gao, Shaoqing Zhang, Lixin Wu, Ping Chang, Wenju Cai, Jakob Zscheischler, L. Ruby Leung, Justin Small, Gokhan Danabasoglu, Luanne Thompson, and Huiwang Gao sheds light on the implications of future marine heatwaves using a high-resolution Earth system model.

Abstract
Marine heatwaves (MHWs), episodic periods of abnormally high sea surface temperature, severely affect marine ecosystems. This study uses a high-resolution Earth system model to investigate the future intensity and frequency of MHWs over Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Results show that future intensity and annual days of MHWs over most LMEs will remain higher than in the present-day climate, even if organisms fully adapt to long-term mean warming. Higher resolution models are crucial for accurately simulating MHWs, particularly in coastal regions.
