Super Typhoon Yagi's rapid intensification correlated with a summer marine heatwave in the South China Sea, marking a significant observation.
Satellite observations and numerical simulations indicate that marine heatwaves can sustain super typhoon strength, challenging previous assumptions.
The dissipating marine heatwave driven by Yagi's winds highlights the complex interaction between typhoons and ocean conditions.
Statistical analysis suggests that marine heatwaves may serve as a crucial precondition for super typhoon development in the region.
