Characteristics of the MHW and phytoplankton response between 7/11/2010–3/12/2010 in the South Central Red Sea (SCRS). (a) Spatial variability of maximum MHW intensity based on satellite SST. The standardized anomalies of satellite Chl-a are indicated for the (b) the MHW and (c) non-MHW years (2015–2018). (d) Comparison of the spatially-averaged vertical temperature profile during MHW days (red line) with the equivalent (7/11 − 3/12) mean temperature profile of non-MHW years (blue line).
