Projected amplification of summer marine heatwaves in a warming Northeast Pacific Ocean

Abstract Marine heatwaves are expected to become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting in a warming world. However, it remains unclear whether feedback processes could amplify or dampen extreme ocean temperatures. Here we impose the observed atmospheric flow in coupled climate simulations to de...
