Scientists from GSR Research Partnership are monitoring the eastern #GreatSouthernReef , anticipating this summer's marine heatwave 🌊🔥
Data on shallow water species in NSW, Vic, Tas are being collected as a baseline to help understand potential impacts. #marineheatwave
What a feeling to flip the switch⚡️and turn everything off. #Hotfloor has ended and the seafloor can rest after simulating a #MarineHeatwave >20days.
Thanks to everyone who helped!!! It was a great team effort! Alf Norkko Joanna Norkko roel lammerant Camilla Gustafsson Leo Gottschalck
The North Pacific's 'great red spot' of above-normal SSTs remained glaringly obvious in December, and has a lot to do with N Hemisphere weather patterns this winter so far. There's also a major #marineheatwave in the SW Atlantic, linked to Argentina drought. And La Niña persists.
The latest 1-month difference in SSTs reveals the change under way with ENSO. With major warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific, La Niña criteria were barely met in February.
Outside the tropics, the #marineheatwave around New Zealand's South Island is a striking feature.

Having a closer look at SSTs around U.K. & Ireland a #MarineHeatwave is clear.
Extremely warm North Sea off the coast of E Scotland and NE England, waters 5C+ above average. Raw 16-18C.
The anomaly is perhaps unprecedented locally the waters are cooler near SE England.
This is insane.
The sea surface temperature average in the North Atlantic Ocean has now reached 25ºC for the first time in modern record taking.

In August, 48% of the world's oceans experienced a so-called “ #marineheatwave ” (abnormally high temperatures compared to the region's seasonal average). That's a record, of course.

NOAA divers supporting the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program ( #NCRMP ) completed all Caribbean surveys for 2023! Unfortunately, the team on this recent mission observed extensive coral bleaching across southeast Puerto Rico due to the #MarineHeatwave .

Torno sull'eccezionale ondata di calore marino che sta vivendo il Nord Atlantico (NATL), i. p. la regione E a ridosso delle coste europee e quella N. SST nel complesso (0-60N, 0-80W) > 23° C, SSTA > 1° C, std >+3σ! ↙️↘️ #marineHeatwave 🧵 (1/9) Giulio Betti Roberto Ingrosso
The #marineheatwave left a wake of widespread ecological community structure changes, regardless of whether communities were inside of MPAs. We also observed a decline in cold-water species and an increase in the relative proportion of species affiliated with warm water (3/6).
The large #marineheatwave that was lingering offshore in the NE Pacific has reached Oregon and Washington.
CeNCOOS partners are monitoring closely for presence in California and potential impacts on ecosystems, such as harmful algal blooms.

NOAA's #MarineHeatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.
Looking forward to seeing BBC News (UK) David Shukman Ros Atkins Justin Rowlatt Chris Mason reporting these events.
If not, why not?
