Overview

This analysis highlights how ENSO influences subsurface MHW occurrences in the Kuroshio Extension, affecting marine ecosystems.

Key Points

  • Subsurface marine heatwaves increased significantly with Kuroshio warming, affecting marine life and economies.
  • Analysis of data from a 30-year time series indicated strong interannual variability in subsurface temperatures.
  • The study combined in situ temperature observations with satellite data to examine MHWs up to 800 meters deep.
  • Relying solely on sea surface temperatures fails to represent the full dynamics of marine heatwaves in the region.
