Threat by marine heatwaves to adaptive large marine ecosystems in an eddy-resolving model

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 February 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-021-01266-5

Understanding the impact of future marine heatwaves on coastal ecosystems, which account for most of global fishery catches, is limited due to low-resolution models. Use of high-resolution models shows increases in intensity, and the number of days, of marine heatwaves, endangering resident species.
