From: Multi-month forecasts of marine heatwaves and ocean acidification extremes

Extended Data Fig. 5

Decomposition of Ωa to determine drivers of extreme events. (row 1) Decomposition of [CO3]2- into drivers of changes during extremes relative to all times, including effects of (a) temperature, (b) salinity, (c) DIC, (d) Alkalinity. (row 2) Changes to tendency terms of DIC during extremes relative to all times, including: (e) total DIC tendency, (f) circulation tendency, (g) air-sea CO2 flux tendency, and (h) biological tendency.
