Hidden heatwaves and severe coral bleaching linked to mesoscale eddies and thermocline dynamics

Alex S. J. Wyatt et al.

Summary: Marine heatwaves hidden beneath the surface, induced by ocean eddies and internal waves, pose a threat to coastal ecosystems by causing unexpected heating and severe coral bleaching and mortality. Previous assessments of marine heatwaves (MHWs) have mainly relied on sea-surface temperature data, without considering heating across ecosystem depths. This study used a unique combination of satellite data, high-resolution in-situ temperature measurements, and sea level anomalies to reveal subsurface MHWs that were paradoxical compared to surface temperature metrics and associated with unexpected coral bleaching.

Biological Impacts of Marine Heatwaves

Kathryn E. Smith et al.

Summary: Climatic extremes, particularly marine heatwaves (MHWs), have become more frequent and intense due to global warming, impacting the integrity of marine ecosystems. This review explores the impacts of MHWs on individual, population, and community levels, as well as the broader ecosystem services. It also discusses current research on biological impacts, approaches to predicting and adapting to future events.

Phenotypic Plasticity in Sargassum Forests May Not Counteract Projected Biomass Losses Along a Broad Latitudinal Gradient

Lidiane P. Gouvea et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of phenotypic plasticity and investigates the ecophysiological adjustments and thermal tolerances of Sargassum cymosum across a latitudinal gradient and future climate changes. The results show that both tropical and warm temperate populations are at risk of future losses, but compliance with the Paris Agreement may help safeguard Sargassum forests.

Cold-water species deepen to escape warm water temperatures

Shahar Chaikin et al.

Summary: The study indicates that with increasing sea temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea, marine species show a significant deepening of their minimum depths. Different species show variations in their depth response, with cold-water species and eurytherms tending to deepen more while deep-water species also deepen more compared to shallow-water species. Surprising changes towards shallower maximal depths are observed with warming, suggesting that the future vertical distribution of marine communities will change in complex ways.

A Review of the Role of the Oceanic Rossby Waves in Climate Variability

Jean-Louis Pinault

Summary: This paper reviews the role of oceanic Rossby waves in climate variability and their dynamics in tropical oceans and at mid-latitudes. The interactions between equatorial and off-equatorial Rossby waves are emphasized for tropical oceans, while a wide range of periods is considered for Rossby waves at mid-latitudes. The resonant forcing of Rossby waves and subharmonic modes is highlighted as an important aspect.

Climate change impacts the vertical structure of marine ecosystem thermal ranges

Yeray Santana-Falcon et al.

Summary: Temperature plays a crucial role in shaping the biodiversity patterns in the global ocean. Global warming is predicted to alter the thermal range boundaries, particularly at different depths throughout the water column. Research shows that by 2040, if high anthropogenic emissions continue, the ocean depths below 50 meters may be exposed to unprecedented high-temperature environments. However, reduced emissions could delay this scenario by several decades. By 2100, both the lower and upper boundaries of temperature ranges in the ocean may undergo simultaneous changes, which could have significant implications for pelagic ecosystems.

Marine Heatwaves and Their Depth Structures on the Northeast US Continental Shelf

Hendrik Grosselindemann et al.

Summary: This study investigates the depth structure and drivers of Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) on the Northeast U.S. continental shelf, highlighting the importance of local ocean dynamics in accurately representing the impacts on pelagic and benthic ecosystems. The results show varying spatial extents and distinct vertical structures of MHWs, with extreme salinity anomalies coinciding with over 80% of MHWs at depth. The study emphasizes the need to realistically represent local ocean dynamics in climate models.

Influence of Eastern Upwelling systems on marine heatwaves occurrence

R. Varela et al.

Summary: This study is the first to focus on the occurrence of MHWs in the Eastern Boundary Upwelling systems (EBUs). The research found that Benguela, Canary, Chile, Peru, and California EBUs show lower trends in the number of MHW days near the coast compared to the adjacent ocean unaffected by upwelling events, indicating that upwelling may moderate the occurrence of MHWs.

Ecosystem response persists after a prolonged marine heatwave

Robert M. Suryan et al.

Summary: Established monitoring programs in the Gulf of Alaska following the Exxon Valdez oil spill over 30 years ago have been successful in assessing recovery from oil spill impacts and now provide valuable insights into ecosystem responses to marine heatwaves. The 2014-2016 northeast Pacific marine heatwave in the Gulf of Alaska led to abrupt changes across trophic levels, with responses persisting for at least 5 years. Anticipated increases in marine heatwaves under current climate projections suggest uncertainty about the Gulf of Alaska ecosystem returning to a pre-PMH state.

Oceanic Circulation Drives the Deepest and Longest Marine Heatwaves in the East Australian Current System

Youstina Elzahaby et al.

Summary: The study reveals that marine heatwaves (MHWs) are predominantly driven by air-sea heatflux and advection in different regions, resulting in variations in depth and seasonality of MHWs. Understanding how MHW characteristics are linked to their drivers can facilitate prediction, especially in areas where surface observations are sparse and ecological impact is significant.

Local conditions magnify coral loss after marine heatwaves

Mary K. Donovan et al.

Summary: Climate change poses a serious threat to coral reefs, leading to coral bleaching and mortality, and global mass coral mortality events highlight the importance of mitigating climate change to protect coral reefs. Local stressors such as high abundance of macroalgae or urchins intensify coral loss and in combination with increasing heat stress, exacerbate coral mortality. Effective local management practices, combined with global efforts to mitigate climate change, offer hope for the survival of coral reefs in the Anthropocene era.

Deep Heat: A Comparison of Water Temperature, Anemone Bleaching, Anemonefish Density and Reproduction between Shallow and Mesophotic Reefs

Anne Haguenauer et al.

Summary: Research conducted in French Polynesia revealed that coral reefs in mesophotic zones still experienced bleaching during thermal anomalies, yet the bleaching was about five times less severe compared to shallower waters. Additionally, the density of orange-fin anemonefish in mesophotic zones was either similar to, or 25-92 times lower than in shallower areas, indicating that mesophotic reefs have limited ability to provide refuge from disturbances.
