Fig. 5: Annual trend of AHW and MHW events maximum intensity by concurrence type.
From: Mediterranean marine heatwaves intensify in the presence of concurrent atmospheric heatwaves

Annual trend of AHW (May–September) and MHW (all year) maximum intensity by concurrency type for the Mediterranean and its different subregions (ASEA = Adriatic Sea, WMED = Western Mediterranean and ESEA = Eastern Mediterranean). Points size denotes event intensity. Concurrent events show an increase for AHW and MHW maximum intensity whole non-concurrent events show almost no trend.
