Abstract

Marine heatwaves around Australia, and globally, have been increasing in their frequency, intensity, and duration. This study reviews and catalogues marine heatwave metrics and trends around Australia since 1982, from near the beginning of the satellite sea-surface temperature observing period. The years in which the longest and strongest marine heatwaves around Australia occurred are also recorded. In addition, we analyse marine heatwaves in selected case study regions, and provide a short review of their associated impacts. These regions include: off the Western Australian coast, Torres Strait, Great Barrier Reef, Tasman Sea, and South Australian Basin. Finally, we provide a brief review of progress in understanding the potential predictability of sea surface temperature changes and marine heatwaves around Australia.

澳大利亚地区海洋热浪指标和趋势目录

澳大利亚和全球范围内的海洋热浪在频率、强度和持续时间上都在增加。本研究回顾和编目了1982年以来澳大利亚周围的海洋热浪指标和趋势，从卫星海面温度观测期开始。澳大利亚周围发生最长最强海洋热浪的年份也有记录。此外，我们分析了选定的案例研究区域的海洋热浪，并简要回顾了其相关影响。这些地区包括:西澳大利亚海岸、托雷斯海峡、大堡礁、塔斯曼海和南澳大利亚盆地。最后，我们简要回顾了在了解澳大利亚周围海洋表面温度变化和海洋热浪的潜在可预测性方面的进展。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science (JSHESS) publishes broad areas of research with a distinct emphasis on the Southern Hemisphere. The scope of the Journal encompasses the study of the mean state, variability and change of the atmosphere, oceans, and land surface, including the cryosphere, from hemispheric to regional scales. general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, climate change and variability , climate impacts, climate modelling , past change in the climate system including palaeoclimate variability, atmospheric dynamics, synoptic meteorology, mesoscale meteorology and severe weather, tropical meteorology, observation systems, remote sensing of atmospheric, oceanic and land surface processes, weather, climate and ocean prediction, atmospheric and oceanic composition and chemistry, physical oceanography, air‐sea interactions, coastal zone processes, hydrology, cryosphere‐atmosphere interactions, land surface‐atmosphere interactions, space weather, including impacts and mitigation on technology, ionospheric, magnetospheric, auroral and space physics, data assimilation applied to the above subject areas .
