Fig. 1: Observed and simulated frequencies of marine heatwaves (MHWs) during the historical period.
From: Intensification of future subsurface marine heatwaves in an eddy-resolving model
a‒c Contemporary (1993–2020) annual surface and subsurface MHW frequencies at five different depths based on (a) GLORYS, (b) CESM‒HR, and (c) CESM‒LR data. White grid squares in deeper layers represent areas with no available corresponding sea temperature data. d Latitudinal plots representing the mean magnitudes of annual SMHW frequency in 1° bins latitude for GLORYS (black), CESM‒HR (red), and CESM‒LR (blue) data. Results show that CESM-HR provides an improved simulation of MHWs compared to CESM-LR.
