River temperature response to atmospheric heatwaves is modulated by discharge and meltwater [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentAlpine rivers are becoming increasingly exposed to atmospheric heatwaves. Because of their strong relationship with air temperature, rivers can experience persistent heat anomalies, known as riverine heatwaves, which can have serious consequences for ...

Longer‐ and Slower‐Moving Contiguous Heatwaves Linked to El Niño
Geophysical Research LettersAlthough it is known that the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are affected by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), unknown are the ENSO modulations on the moving properties (e.g., moving distance and speed) of spatiotemporally contiguous ...
