1st Session of CLIVAR Research Foci on Marine Heatwaves in the Global Ocean

A CLIVAR-CFMIP initiated Working Group: TROpical Pacific SST Warming PatternS (TROPICS) (https://www.clivar.org/TROPICS) has been officially launched.

Draft Programme is available!
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are events characterized by prolonged and extremely warm ocean conditions, and have been detected in recent decades over many regions of the global ocean. Some recent studies led by D. Mawren and with the contribution from J. Hermes (co-chair of IORP), provide an improved understanding of the important role of horizontal advection, associated with anticyclonic eddies on the evolution of MHWs, as well as the co-occurring extremes in the Mozambique Channel.
