Marine heatwaves are shaping the vertical structure of phytoplankton in the global ocean
Communications Earth & EnvironmentMarine heatwaves, characterized by extremely high ocean temperatures, significantly impact marine ecosystems. To date, the vertical structure of phytoplankton responses to marine heatwaves remains poorly understood.

Heavy weather: climate and the Australian Defence Force [PDF]
This report argues that the downstream implications of climate change are forcing Defence to become involved in mitigation and response tasks. Defence’s workload here will increase, so we need a new approach.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

An opportunity index to anticipate when subseasonal predictions are useful
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Simultaneously active subseasonal windows of forecast opportunity can be combined into a single opportunity index, which can be used operationally to anticipate enhanced or reduced subseasonal prediction skill. For predictions of temperature anomalies in Switzerland during summer—a region and season with particularly low predictability—skill can nearly

EcosphereExtreme climatic events are linked to an increase in emergent diseases. Such increases depend on the relationships between environmental conditions and host–parasite dynamics.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We investigate whether Central European heatwaves (HWs) forming under omega blocking differ from those enabled by subtropical ridges, in terms of both air‐mass origin and processes warming air parcels along their way. Using ERA5‐based backward trajectories and a Lagrangian temperature anomaly decomposition, we identify significant differences in the ...

Strong impact of tropical cyclones on the genesis of subsurface marine heatwaves
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSubsurface marine heatwaves are newly recognized extreme ocean events with profound impacts on global marine ecosystems. Previous studies have linked their formation to downwelling favorable surface winds, warm ocean eddies, and planetary waves, yet ...

Heat-Ready: heatwave awareness, preparedness and adaptive capacity in aged care facilities [PDF]
This study identifies the current policies and strategies Australian ACFs use to keep residents well, and highlights the barriers to heatwave adaptation and maintaining wellness in the residential aged during periods of extreme heat.

Ecology and EvolutionABSTRACTHeatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far‐reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this can directly influence fitness and survival.
