The Tasman Sea off southeast Australia exhibited its longest and most intense marine heatwave ever recorded in 2015/16. Here we report on several inter-related aspects of this event: observed characteristics, physical drivers, ecological impacts and the
to the subsequent heatwaves in the same year; and (3) the disproportional effect of the first wave will be present after adjusting for the seasonal nature of exposure the HHs has well-pronounced temporal features, which can be described by harmonic oscil- lations and specific calendar effects....
"Your body's able to cool down by sweating and that means your body's dehydrating, which in turn makes your blood thicker. That causes all sorts of problems with your heart and increases the risk of stroke," said Dr Robertson. Respiratory problems are also exacerbated by the heat, somethin...
Understanding the causes of the 2023 MHWs in the East China Sea In order to unravel the complex interplay that contributed to the prolonged duration and intensity of the MHW observed in 2023. Figure3shows the physical mechanisms that sustained the MHW into late summer from both atmospheric and ...
The surface energy budget analysis further indicated that the augmented heat storage within urban impervious surfaces is one of the main causes of the enhanced urban heat island effect, particularly during the nighttime periods during heatwaves.
Heatwaves have significant adverse effects on human health. The frequency, duration, and intensity of heatwaves are projected to increase dramatically, in the context of global warming. However, there are few comprehensive assessments of the health impact of heatwaves considering different definitions,...

Background and Aims: Heatwaves have potential health and safety implications for many workers, and heatwaves are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. There is currently a lack of comparative evidence for the effects of heatwaves on workers’ health and safety in ...
In particular, the poorly resolved coastal upwelling by low-resolution CGCMs in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6)34 causes a large warm bias in the mean-state SST that may be further biased into MHWs (Supplementary Table 1; Supplementary Figs. 1 and 2), degrading ...
