The relative percent change in MHW occurrences during different phases of the a, f Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) b, g Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) c, h Niño 1 + 2, d, i East Pacific/North Pacific Oscillation (EP/NP) and e, j North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) at each location. Percent changes were calculated by subsetting the data into the phase of each respective climate mode and then comparing the number of MHW days to that of the original dataset. Numeric values of percentage changes are listed in supplementary Table 7. Empty circles indicate locations where the data was not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level.
