For the Marine Heatwave community we like to share these resources:
The California Current Marine Heatwave Tracker - Blobtracker
Developed by oceanographers from NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center as an experimental tool for natural resource managers, the California Current MHW Tracker is a program designed to understand, describe, and provide a historical context for the 2014-16 blob.2 It also produces a range of indices that could help forecast or predict future MHWs expected to impact our coast.
Marine Heatwaves International Working Group
We are a group of scientists, spanning several continents and fields of study, dedicated to understanding marine heatwaves: their physical drivers, climatological properties, and ecological impacts. This page summarises new research from our group and from others.
Marine Heatwaves | NOAA Physical Science Laboratory
Marine heatwaves are periods of persistent anomalously warm ocean temperatures, which can have significant impacts on marine life as well as coastal communities and economies. Scientists at PSL are working to characterize marine heatwaves, understand how they form and dissipate, and predict them in advance.
