Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can severely impact marine biodiversity, fisheries, and aquaculture. Consequently, there is an increasing desire to understand the drivers of these events inform their predictability so that proactive decisions may be made reduce potential impacts. In Tasman Sea (TS), several relatively intense broad-scale MHWs have caused significant damage fisheries aquaculture industries. To assess events, we first determined main driver each MHW event in TS from 1993...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have caused devasting ecological and socioeconomic impacts worldwide. Understanding the connection of regional events to large‐scale climatic drivers is key for enhancing predictability mitigating MHW impacts. Despite reported between MHWs globally El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), establishing statistically significant links different types ENSO remains challenging due limited duration observational data. Here, we use 10,000 years...
<title>Abstract</title> The heat stress limits for human survivability have been long defined by a 6-h exposure to wet-bulb temperature of 35oC. This definition has employed regularly the climate community understand threat on humans. However, we recently developed physiology-based model demonstrating that environmental thresholds, when accounting limitations evaporative cooling via sweating, and realistic hyperthermic thresholds stroke, may be cooler drier than previously thought. potential...
Abstract As marine heatwaves (MHWs) become more intense and longer lasting due to global warming, understanding the drivers impacts of these events is crucial for effective resource management. This study investigates influence El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Annular Mode (SAM), Sub-Tropical Ridge High (STRH), Madden Julian (MJO) on sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies MHWs around Australia. The aim this research improve our sub-seasonal seasonal (S2S)...
Local meteorology over the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) can significantly influence ocean temperatures, which in turn impacts coral ecosystems. While El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) provides insight into expected synoptic states, it lacks details of anticipated sub-seasonal weather variability at local scales. This study explores Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) on Australian tropical climate, both independently and combination with ENSO, a focus to GBR. We find that during Niño periods,...
