Journal ArticleDOI

Eric C. J. Oliver,Eric C. J. Oliver,Markus G. Donat,Michael T. Burrows,Pippa J. Moore,Dan A. Smale,Dan A. Smale,Lisa V. Alexander,Jessica A. Benthuysen,Ming Feng,Alex Sen Gupta,Alistair J. Hobday,Neil J. Holbrook,Sarah E. Perkins-Kirkpatrick,Hillary A. Scannell,Hillary A. Scannell,Sandra C. Straub,Thomas Wernberg +17 more
TL;DR: Using a range of ocean temperature data including global records of daily satellite observations, daily in situ measurements and gridded monthly in situ-based data sets, this work identifies significant increases in marine heatwaves over the past century.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alistair J. Hobday,Lisa V. Alexander,Sarah E. Perkins,Dan A. Smale,Dan A. Smale,Sandra C. Straub,Eric C. J. Oliver,Eric C. J. Oliver,Jessica A. Benthuysen,Michael T. Burrows,Markus G. Donat,Ming Feng,Neil J. Holbrook,Neil J. Holbrook,Pippa J. Moore,Hillary A. Scannell,Hillary A. Scannell,Alex Sen Gupta,Thomas Wernberg +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchy of metrics that allow for different data sets to be used in identifying MHWs is proposed, which can be described by its duration, intensity, rate of evolution, and spatial extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine heatwaves threaten global biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services

Alexander,Jessica A. Benthuysen,Markus G. Donat,Markus G. Donat,Ming Feng,Alistair J. Hobday,Neil J. Holbrook,Sarah E. Perkins-Kirkpatrick,Hillary A. Scannell,Alex Sen Gupta,Ben L. Payne,Pippa J. Moore,Pippa J. Moore +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify trends and attributes of extreme regional ocean warming (marine heatwaves, MHWs) across all ocean basins and examine their biological impacts from species to ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eric C. J. Oliver,Eric C. J. Oliver,Jessica A. Benthuysen,Nathaniel L. Bindoff,Nathaniel L. Bindoff,Nathaniel L. Bindoff,Alistair J. Hobday,Neil J. Holbrook,Neil J. Holbrook,Craig Mundy,Sarah E. Perkins-Kirkpatrick +10 more
TL;DR: The Tasman Sea off southeast Australia exhibited its longest and most intense marine heatwave ever recorded in 2015/16, with observed characteristics, physical drivers, ecological impacts and the role of climate change reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorizing and naming marine heatwaves

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed categorization scheme for high impact marine heatwaves (MHWs) was proposed, combining elements from schemes that describe atmospheric heatwaves and hurricanes. Category I, II, III, and IV MHWs are defined based on the degree to which temperatures exceed the local climatology and illustrated for 10 MHWs.
