Marine heatwave

January 01, 1970

A marine heatwave (abbreviated as MHW) is a period of abnormally high ocean temperatures relative to the average seasonal temperature in a particular marine region.[1] Marine heatwaves are caused by a variety of factors, including shorter term weather phenomena such as fronts, intraseasonal events (30- to 90-days) , annual, or decadal (10-year) modes like El Niño events, and longer term changes like climate change.[2][3][4] Marine heatwaves can have biological impacts on ecosystems[5] at individual, population, and community levels.[6] MHWs have led to severe biodiversity changes such as coral bleaching, sea star wasting disease,[7][8] harmful algal blooms,[9] and mass mortality of benthic communities.[10] Unlike heatwaves on land, marine heatwaves can extend for millions of square kilometers, persist for weeks to months or even years, and occur at subsurface levels.[11][12][13][14]

Major marine heatwave events such as Great Barrier Reef 2002,[15] Mediterranean 2003,[10] Northwest Atlantic 2012,[2][16] and Northeast Pacific 2013-2016[17][18] have had drastic and long-term impacts on the oceanographic and biological conditions in those areas.[10][19][9] "The term marine heatwave, referring to a discrete period of unusually high seawater temperatures, was coined following an unprecedented warming event off the west coast of Australia in the austral summer of 2011."[20]

The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report stated in 2022 that "marine heatwaves are more frequent [...], more intense and longer [...] since the 1980s, and since at least 2006 very likely attributable to anthropogenic climate change".[21]: 381  This confirms earlier findings, for example in the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate from 2019 which stated that it is "virtually certain" that the global ocean has absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat in our climate systems, the rate of ocean warming has doubled, and marine heatwave events have doubled in frequency since 1982.[22]

Definition edit

 
Global marine heat wave (MHW) characteristics and case-study regions. 34-year (1982–2015) average properties of MHWs based on application of the MHW definition to daily sea surface temperatures datasets.[2]

The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines marine heatwave as follows: "A period during which water temperature is abnormally warm for the time of the year relative to historical temperatures, with that extreme warmth persisting for days to months. The phenomenon can manifest in any place in the ocean and at scales of up to thousands of kilometres."[23]

Another publication defined it as follows: an anomalously warm event is a marine heatwave "if it lasts for five or more days, with temperatures warmer than the 90th percentile based on a 30-year historical baseline period".[1]

Categories edit

 
Categories of marine heatwaves[24]

The quantitative and qualitative categorization of marine heatwaves establishes a naming system, typology, and characteristics for marine heatwave events.[1][24] The naming system is applied by location and year: for example Mediterranean 2003.[24][10] This allows researchers to compare the drivers and characteristics of each event, geographical and historical trends of marine heatwaves, and easily communicate marine heatwave events as they occur in real-time.[24]

The categorization system is on a scale from 1 to 4.[24] Category 1 is a moderate event, Category 2 is a strong event, Category 3 is a severe event, and Category 4 is an extreme event. The category applied to each event in real-time is defined primarily by sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA), but over time it comes to include typology and characteristics.[24]

The types of marine heatwaves are symmetric, slow onset, fast onset, low intensity, and high intensity.[1] Marine heatwave events may have multiple categories such as slow onset, high intensity. The characteristics of marine heatwave events include duration, intensity (max, average, cumulative), onset rate, decline rate, region, and frequency.[1]

While marine heat waves have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, they can also occur at the sea floor.[25]

Drivers edit

The drivers for marine heatwave events can be broken into local processes, teleconnection processes, and regional climate patterns.[2][3][4] Two quantitative measurements of these drivers have been proposed to identify marine heatwave, mean sea surface temperature and sea surface temperature variability.[24][2][4]

At the local level marine heatwave events are dominated by ocean advection, air-sea fluxes, thermocline stability, and wind stress.[2] Teleconnection processes refer to climate and weather patterns that connect geographically distant areas.[26] For marine heatwave, the teleconnection process that play a dominant role are atmospheric blocking/subsidence, jet-stream position, oceanic kelvin waves, regional wind stress, warm surface air temperature, and seasonal climate oscillations. These processes contribute to regional warming trends that disproportionately effect Western boundary currents.[2]

Regional climate patterns such as interdecadal oscillations like El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have contributed to marine heatwave events such as "The Blob" in the Northeastern Pacific.[27]

Drivers that operate on the scale of biogeographical realms or the Earth as a whole are Decadal oscillations, like Pacific Decadal Oscillations (PDO), and anthropogenic ocean warming due to climate change.[2][4][22]

Ocean areas of carbon sinks in the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres and carbon outgassing areas in upwelling regions of the tropical Pacific have been identified as places where persistent marine heatwaves occur; the air-sea gas exchange is being studied in these areas.[28]

Climate change as an additional driver edit

 
Sea surface temperature since 1979 in the extrapolar region (between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude)

Scientists predict that the frequency, duration, scale (or area) and intensity of marine heatwaves will continue to increase.[29]: 1227  This is because sea surface temperatures will continue to increase with global warming, and therefore the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves will also increase. The extent of ocean warming depends on emission scenarios, and thus humans' climate change mitigation efforts. Simply put, the more greenhouse gas emissions (or the less mitigation), the more the sea surface temperature will rise. Scientists have calculated this as follows: there would be a relatively small (but still significant) increase of 0.86 °C in the average sea surface temperature for the low emissions scenario (called SSP1-2.6). But for the high emissions scenario (called SSP5-8.5) the temperature increase would be as high as 2.89 °C.[29]: 393 

The prediction for marine heatwaves is that they may become "four times more frequent in 2081–2100 compared to 1995–2014" under the lower emissions scenario, or eight times more frequent under the higher emissions scenario.[29]: 1214  The emissions scenarios are called SSP for Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. A mathematical model called CMIP6 is used for these predictions. The predictions are for the average of the future period (years 2081 to 2100) compared to the average of the past period (years 1995 to 2014).[29]: 1227 

Global warming is projected to push the tropical Indian Ocean into a basin-wide near-permanent heatwave state by the end of the 21st century, where marine heatwaves are projected to increase from 20 days per year (during 1970–2000) to 220–250 days per year.[30]

Many species already experience these temperature shifts during the course of marine heatwave events.[1][24] There are many increased risk factors and health impacts to coastal and inland communities as global average temperature and extreme heat events increase.[31]

List of events edit

Sea surface temperatures have been recorded since 1904 in Port Erin, UK[4] and measurements continue through global organizations such as NOAA, NASA, and many more. Events can be identified from 1925 till present day.[4] The list below is not a complete representation of all marine heatwave events that have ever been recorded.

On marine ecosystems edit

Changes in the thermal environment of terrestrial and marine organisms can have drastic effects on their health and well-being.[19][31] Marine heatwave events have been shown to increase habitat degradation,[36][37] change species range dispersion,[19] complicate management of environmentally and economically important fisheries,[17] contribute to mass mortalities of species,[10][9][7] and in general reshape ecosystems.[5][15][38]

Habitat degradation occurs through alterations of the thermal environment and subsequent restructuring and sometimes complete loss of biogenic habitats such as seagrass beds, corals, and kelp forests.[36][37] These habitats contain a significant proportion of the oceans biodiversity.[19] Changes in ocean current systems and local thermal environments have shifted many tropical species' range northward while temperate species have lost their southern limits. Large range shifts along with outbreaks of toxic algal blooms has impacted many species across taxa.[9] Management of these affected species becomes increasingly difficult as they migrate across management boundaries and the food web dynamics shift.

Increases in sea surface temperature have been linked to a decline in species abundance such as the mass mortality of 25 benthic species in the Mediterranean in 2003, sea star wasting disease, and coral bleaching events.[10][19][7] Climate change-related exceptional marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea during 2015–2019 resulted in widespread mass sealife die-offs in five consecutive years.[39] Repeated marine heatwaves in the Northest Pacific led to dramatic changes in animal abundances, predator-prey relationships, and energy flux throughout the ecosystem.[5] The impact of more frequent and prolonged marine heatwave events will have drastic implications for the distribution of species.[22]

Coral bleaching edit

This section is an excerpt from Coral bleaching § Trends due to climate change.[edit]

Extreme bleaching events are directly linked with climate-induced phenomena that increase ocean temperature, such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).[40] The warming ocean surface waters can lead to bleaching of corals which can cause serious damage and coral death. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report in 2022 found that: "Since the early 1980s, the frequency and severity of mass coral bleaching events have increased sharply worldwide".[41]: 416  Coral reefs, as well as other shelf-sea ecosystems, such as rocky shores, kelp forests, seagrasses, and mangroves, have recently undergone mass mortalities from marine heatwaves.[41]: 381  It is expected that many coral reefs will "undergo irreversible phase shifts due to marine heatwaves with global warming levels >1.5°C".[41]: 382 

This problem was already identified in 2007 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the greatest threat to the world's reef systems.[42][43]

The Great Barrier Reef experienced its first major bleaching event in 1998. Since then, bleaching events have increased in frequency, with three events occurring in the years 2016–2020.[44] Bleaching is predicted to occur three times a decade on the Great Barrier Reef if warming is kept to 1.5 °C, increasing every other year to 2 °C.[45]

With the increase of coral bleaching events worldwide, National Geographic noted in 2017, "In the past three years, 25 reefs—which comprise three-fourths of the world's reef systems—experienced severe bleaching events in what scientists concluded was the worst-ever sequence of bleachings to date."[46]

In a study conducted on the Hawaiian mushroom coral Lobactis scutaria, researchers discovered that higher temperatures and elevated levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) had a detrimental impact on its reproductive physiology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival of reef-building corals in their natural habitat, as coral reproduction is being hindered by the effects of climate change.[47]

On weather patterns edit

 
The marine heatwave termed "The Blob" that occurred in the Northeastern Pacific from 2013 to 2016.[48]

Research on how marine heatwaves influence atmospheric conditions is emerging. Marine heatwaves in the tropical Indian Ocean are found to result in dry conditions over the central Indian subcontinent.[49] At the same time, there is an increase in rainfall over south peninsular India in response to marine heatwaves in the northern Bay of Bengal. These changes are in response to the modulation of the monsoon winds by the marine heatwaves.

Options for reducing impacts edit

To address the root cause of more frequent and more intense marine heatwaves,[21]: 416  climate change mitigation methods are needed to curb the increase in global temperature and in ocean temperatures.

Better forecasts of marine heatwaves and improved monitoring can also help to reduce impacts of these heatwaves.[21]: 417

A marine heatwave abbreviated as MHW is a period of abnormally high ocean temperatures relative to the average seasonal temperature in a particular marine region 1 Marine heatwaves are caused by a variety of factors including shorter term weather phenomena such as fronts intraseasonal events 30 to 90 days annual or decadal 10 year modes like El Nino events and longer term changes like climate change 2 3 4 Marine heatwaves can have biological impacts on ecosystems 5 at individual population and community levels 6 MHWs have led to severe biodiversity changes such as coral bleaching sea star wasting disease 7 8 harmful algal blooms 9 and mass mortality of benthic communities 10 Unlike heatwaves on land marine heatwaves can extend for millions of square kilometers persist for weeks to months or even years and occur at subsurface levels 11 12 13 14 World map showing several heatwaves at different locations in August and September 2023 The marine heatwave west of South America is a prominent example Major marine heatwave events such as Great Barrier Reef 2002 15 Mediterranean 2003 10 Northwest Atlantic 2012 2 16 and Northeast Pacific 2013 2016 17 18 have had drastic and long term impacts on the oceanographic and biological conditions in those areas 10 19 9 The term marine heatwave referring to a discrete period of unusually high seawater temperatures was coined following an unprecedented warming event off the west coast of Australia in the austral summer of 2011 20 The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report stated in 2022 that marine heatwaves are more frequent more intense and longer since the 1980s and since at least 2006 very likely attributable to anthropogenic climate change 21 381 This confirms earlier findings for example in the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate from 2019 which stated that it is virtually certain that the global ocean has absorbed more than 90 of the excess heat in our climate systems the rate of ocean warming has doubled and marine heatwave events have doubled in frequency since 1982 22 Contents 1 Definition 2 Categories 3 Drivers 3 1 Climate change as an additional driver 4 List of events 5 Impacts 5 1 On marine ecosystems 5 1 1 Coral bleaching 5 2 On weather patterns 6 Options for reducing impacts 7 See also 8 References 9 External linksDefinition edit nbsp Global marine heat wave MHW characteristics and case study regions 34 year 1982 2015 average properties of MHWs based on application of the MHW definition to daily sea surface temperatures datasets 2 The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines marine heatwave as follows A period during which water temperature is abnormally warm for the time of the year relative to historical temperatures with that extreme warmth persisting for days to months The phenomenon can manifest in any place in the ocean and at scales of up to thousands of kilometres 23 Another publication defined it as follows an anomalously warm event is a marine heatwave if it lasts for five or more days with temperatures warmer than the 90th percentile based on a 30 year historical baseline period 1 Categories edit nbsp Categories of marine heatwaves 24 The quantitative and qualitative categorization of marine heatwaves establishes a naming system typology and characteristics for marine heatwave events 1 24 The naming system is applied by location and year for example Mediterranean 2003 24 10 This allows researchers to compare the drivers and characteristics of each event geographical and historical trends of marine heatwaves and easily communicate marine heatwave events as they occur in real time 24 The categorization system is on a scale from 1 to 4 24 Category 1 is a moderate event Category 2 is a strong event Category 3 is a severe event and Category 4 is an extreme event The category applied to each event in real time is defined primarily by sea surface temperature anomalies SSTA but over time it comes to include typology and characteristics 24 The types of marine heatwaves are symmetric slow onset fast onset low intensity and high intensity 1 Marine heatwave events may have multiple categories such as slow onset high intensity The characteristics of marine heatwave events include duration intensity max average cumulative onset rate decline rate region and frequency 1 While marine heat waves have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade they can also occur at the sea floor 25 Drivers edit nbsp Space and time scales of characteristic MHW drivers Schematic identifying the characteristic marine heatwave drivers and their relevant space and time scales 2 The drivers for marine heatwave events can be broken into local processes teleconnection processes and regional climate patterns 2 3 4 Two quantitative measurements of these drivers have been proposed to identify marine heatwave mean sea surface temperature and sea surface temperature variability 24 2 4 At the local level marine heatwave events are dominated by ocean advection air sea fluxes thermocline stability and wind stress 2 Teleconnection processes refer to climate and weather patterns that connect geographically distant areas 26 For marine heatwave the teleconnection process that play a dominant role are atmospheric blocking subsidence jet stream position oceanic kelvin waves regional wind stress warm surface air temperature and seasonal climate oscillations These processes contribute to regional warming trends that disproportionately effect Western boundary currents 2 Regional climate patterns such as interdecadal oscillations like El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO have contributed to marine heatwave events such as The Blob in the Northeastern Pacific 27 Drivers that operate on the scale of biogeographical realms or the Earth as a whole are Decadal oscillations like Pacific Decadal Oscillations PDO and anthropogenic ocean warming due to climate change 2 4 22 Ocean areas of carbon sinks in the mid latitudes of both hemispheres and carbon outgassing areas in upwelling regions of the tropical Pacific have been identified as places where persistent marine heatwaves occur the air sea gas exchange is being studied in these areas 28 Climate change as an additional driver edit nbsp Sea surface temperature since 1979 in the extrapolar region between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude Scientists predict that the frequency duration scale or area and intensity of marine heatwaves will continue to increase 29 1227 This is because sea surface temperatures will continue to increase with global warming and therefore the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves will also increase The extent of ocean warming depends on emission scenarios and thus humans climate change mitigation efforts Simply put the more greenhouse gas emissions or the less mitigation the more the sea surface temperature will rise Scientists have calculated this as follows there would be a relatively small but still significant increase of 0 86 C in the average sea surface temperature for the low emissions scenario called SSP1 2 6 But for the high emissions scenario called SSP5 8 5 the temperature increase would be as high as 2 89 C 29 393 The prediction for marine heatwaves is that they may become four times more frequent in 2081 2100 compared to 1995 2014 under the lower emissions scenario or eight times more frequent under the higher emissions scenario 29 1214 The emissions scenarios are called SSP for Shared Socioeconomic Pathways A mathematical model called CMIP6 is used for these predictions The predictions are for the average of the future period years 2081 to 2100 compared to the average of the past period years 1995 to 2014 29 1227 Global warming is projected to push the tropical Indian Ocean into a basin wide near permanent heatwave state by the end of the 21st century where marine heatwaves are projected to increase from 20 days per year during 1970 2000 to 220 250 days per year 30 Many species already experience these temperature shifts during the course of marine heatwave events 1 24 There are many increased risk factors and health impacts to coastal and inland communities as global average temperature and extreme heat events increase 31 List of events editSea surface temperatures have been recorded since 1904 in Port Erin UK 4 and measurements

habitat degradation 36 37 change species range dispersion 19 complicate management of environmentally and economically important fisheries 17 contribute to mass mortalities of species 10 9 7 and in general reshape ecosystems 5 15 38 Habitat degradation occurs through alterations of the thermal environment and subsequent restructuring and sometimes complete loss of biogenic habitats such as seagrass beds corals and kelp forests 36 37 These habitats contain a significant proportion of the oceans biodiversity 19 Changes in ocean current systems and local thermal environments have shifted many tropical species range northward while temperate species have lost their southern limits Large range shifts along with outbreaks of toxic algal blooms has impacted many species across taxa 9 Management of these affected species becomes increasingly difficult as they migrate across management boundaries and the food web dynamics shift Increases in sea surface temperature have been linked to a decline in species abundance such as the mass mortality of 25 benthic species in the Mediterranean in 2003 sea star wasting disease and coral bleaching events 10 19 7 Climate change related exceptional marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea during 2015 2019 resulted in widespread mass sealife die offs in five consecutive years 39 Repeated marine heatwaves in the Northest Pacific led to dramatic changes in animal abundances predator prey relationships and energy flux throughout the ecosystem 5 The impact of more frequent and prolonged marine heatwave events will have drastic implications for the distribution of species 22 Coral bleaching edit This section is an excerpt from Coral bleaching Trends due to climate change edit This section needs to be updated The reason given is 6th IPCC report Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information April 2022 Extreme bleaching events are directly linked with climate induced phenomena that increase ocean temperature such as El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO 40 The warming ocean surface waters can lead to bleaching of corals which can cause serious damage and coral death The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report in 2022 found that Since the early 1980s the frequency and severity of mass coral bleaching events have increased sharply worldwide 41 416 Coral reefs as well as other shelf sea ecosystems such as rocky shores kelp forests seagrasses and mangroves have recently undergone mass mortalities from marine heatwaves 41 381 It is expected that many coral reefs will undergo irreversible phase shifts due to marine heatwaves with global warming levels gt 1 5 C 41 382 This problem was already identified in 2007 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC as the greatest threat to the world s reef systems 42 43 The Great Barrier Reef experienced its first major bleaching event in 1998 Since then bleaching events have increased in frequency with three events occurring in the years 2016 2020 44 Bleaching is predicted to occur three times a decade on the Great Barrier Reef if warming is kept to 1 5 C increasing every other year to 2 C 45 With the increase of coral bleaching events worldwide National Geographic noted in 2017 In the past three years 25 reefs which comprise three fourths of the world s reef systems experienced severe bleaching events in what scientists concluded was the worst ever sequence of bleachings to date 46 In a study conducted on the Hawaiian mushroom coral Lobactis scutaria researchers discovered that higher temperatures and elevated levels of photosynthetically active radiation PAR had a detrimental impact on its reproductive physiology The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival of reef building corals in their natural habitat as coral reproduction is being hindered by the effects of climate change 47 On weather patterns edit nbsp The marine heatwave termed The Blob that occurred in the Northeastern Pacific from 2013 to 2016 48 Research on how marine heatwaves influence atmospheric conditions is emerging Marine heatwaves in the tropical Indian Ocean are found to result in dry conditions over the central Indian subcontinent 49 At the same time there is an increase in rainfall over south peninsular India in response to marine heatwaves in the northern Bay of Bengal These changes are in response to the modulation of the monsoon winds by the marine heatwaves Options for reducing impacts editTo address the root cause of more frequent and more intense marine heatwaves 21 416 climate change mitigation methods are needed to curb the increase in global temperature and in ocean temperatures Better forecasts of marine heatwaves and improved monitoring can also help to reduce impacts of these
