Selective breeding enhances coral heat tolerance to marine heatwaves [PDF]

Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent, widespread and severe, causing mass coral bleaching and mortality. Natural adaptation may be insufficient to keep pace with climate warming, leading to calls for selective breeding interventions to enhance the

Downscaling of Temperatures Over the Eastern Mediterranean for the 21st Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We developed an analogue‐based statistical downscaling method, using a K‐nearest‐neighbour framework, to project daily maximum temperature (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin) at 32 homogenized meteorological stations. Late twenty‐first‐century (2080–2100) temperature projections obtained using the method, show robust warming across all stations and ...

Precursors of Marine Heatwaves in the Eastern Mediterranean

Geophysical Research Letters
Re‐analysis and observational data are used to identify the relationship between marine heatwaves and atmospheric heatwaves over the Eastern Mediterranean, and also the precursors of marine heatwaves in the 15‐day before heatwave onset.

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

Lakshadweep sees drastic coral bleaching from marine heatwaves National Herald dated 6th May 2024 [PDF]

The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has found that coral reefs in the Lakshadweep Sea have undergone severe bleaching due to prolonged marine heatwaves since October 2023.

Rapid intensification of tropical cyclones in the Gulf of Mexico is more likely during marine heatwaves

Communications Earth & Environment
Tropical cyclones can rapidly intensify under favorable oceanic and atmospheric conditions. This phenomenon is complex and difficult to predict, making it a serious challenge for coastal communities.

Bivalves and microbes: a mini-review of their relationship and potential implications for human health in a rapidly warming ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Heatwaves have become increasingly frequent and intense, posing a significant threat to the survival and health of marine bivalves. The temperature fluctuations associated with heatwaves can cause significant alterations in the composition and quantity ...

ERA5 Can Overstate Changes in the Frequency of Extreme Heat: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 reproduces broad patterns of summer warming across New Zealand but underestimates temperature variability and warm‐tail extremes, biasing estimates of extreme heat risk. ABSTRACT Summertime temperature extremes exert profound impacts on human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure, yet their characteristics and drivers remain poorly quantified in ...

Insights into projected changes in marine heatwaves from a high-resolution ocean circulation model

Nature Communications, 2020
Marine heatwaves are likely to intensify in a warmer world, but prediction of these events is hampered by course-scale modeling. Here the authors develop a fine scale, global model which shows that marine heatwaves will amplify with greater spatial ...

Marine Heatwaves in the Chesapeake Bay

, 2022
Prolonged events of anomalously warm sea water temperature, or marine heatwaves (MHWs), have major detrimental effects to marine ecosystems and the world's economy.
