The rise and fall of the “marine heat wave” off Western Australia during the summer of 2010/2011

TLDR
In this paper, satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in February 2011 peaked at 3°C above the longterm monthly means over a wide area from Ningaloo (22°S) to Cape Leeuwin (34°S), along the coast and out to > 200 km offshore.

Marine heatwaves under global warming

TL;DR: Satellite observations and Earth system model simulations reveal that marine heatwaves have increased in recent decades and will increase further in terms of frequency, intensity, duration and spatial extent, suggesting that MHWs will become very frequent and extreme under global warming.

The unprecedented 2015/16 Tasman Sea marine heatwave.

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.

Climate Change and Distribution Shifts in Marine Fishes

TL;DR: It is shown that the distributions of both exploited and nonexploited North Sea fishes have responded markedly to recent increases in sea temperature, with nearly two-thirds of species shifting in mean latitude or depth or both over 25 years.

Improved Global Sea Surface Temperature Analyses Using Optimum Interpolation

TL;DR: The new NOAA operational global sea surface temperature (SST) analysis is described in this paper, which uses 7 days of in situ (ship and buoy) and satellite SST.

The role of increasing temperature variability in European summer heatwaves

TL;DR: It is found that an event like that of summer 2003 is statistically extremely unlikely, even when the observed warming is taken into account, and it is proposed that a regime with an increased variability of temperatures (in addition to increases in mean temperature) may be able to account for summer 2003.

Atlantic Ocean Forcing of North American and European Summer Climate

TL;DR: New evidence is presented that basin-scale changes in the Atlantic Ocean, probably related to the thermohaline circulation, have been an important driver of multidecadal variations in the summertime climate of both North America and western Europe.
