Variability of marine heatwaves’ characteristics and assessment of their potential drivers in the Baltic Sea over the last 42 years

Variability of marine heatwaves’ characteristics and assessment of their potential drivers in the Baltic Sea over the last 42 years

Abstract This study examined Baltic Sea Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) using 42 years of satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) data. We found that MHWs in warmer months are more intense but shorter compared to MHWs in cooler months. Also, MHWs predominantly affect offshore areas in warmer months,...
