Fig. 5: The relationship between marine heat waves and archetype #2 in the Tasman Sea.

From: A large-scale view of marine heatwaves revealed by archetype analysis

Fig. 5

a Snapshot of sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies for the peak of the 2017–2018 severe marine heatwave event, which occurred on the 5th of December, 2017; and b SST composite average for all marine heatwave detected at a representative location. Statistics are calculated at the representative location 45.9°S,171°E, indicated by the grey circle. c The SST anomalies for best matching archetypal (archetype #2); d time-series of SST anomalies (black) and the reconstruction from archetype #2 (orange) at the representative location shown in panels a--c; e time-series of archetype affiliation probability for archetype #2. Coloured bands in panels d, e indicate marine heatwave events. Maps created with Cartopy71.
