Anthropogenic and natural influences on record 2016 marine heat waves
In 2016 a quarter of the ocean surfaceexperienced either the longest or most intense marineheatwave (Hobday et al. 2016) since satellite recordsbegan in 1982. Here we investigate two regions—Northern Australia (NA) and the Bering Sea/Gulf ofAlaska (BSGA)—which, in 2016, experienced theirmost intense...
