Abstract Purpose of Review This paper reviews recent progress in understanding of the
North Pacific Meridional Mode (NPMM) and its influence on the timing, magnitude, flavor …

The modes of Pacific decadal-scale variability (PDV), traditionally defined as statistical
patterns of variance, reflect to first order the ocean's integration (ie, reddening) of …

Summer 2019 observations show a rapid resurgence of the Blob-like warm sea surface
temperature (SST) anomalies that produced devastating marine impacts in the Northeast …

Recently, there has been substantial effort to understand the fundamental characteristics of
warm ocean temperature extremes—known as marine heatwaves (MHWs). However, MHW …

A warm anomaly in the upper ocean, colloquially named “the Blob,” appeared in the Gulf of
Alaska during the calm winter of 2013–2014, spread across the northern North Pacific (NP) …

Cold ocean temperature anomalies have been observed in the mid-to high-latitude North
Atlantic on interannual to centennial timescales. Most notably, a large region of persistently …

Abstract The intensity of Northeast Pacific marine heatwaves (MHWs) has been related to
local stochastic atmospheric forcing with limited predictability, but their evolution and …

Motivated by the uncommon yet highly impactful co‐occurrence of California (CA) drought
and a northeast Pacific (NEP) marine heatwave (MHW) during 2013–2016, we examined …

Results. MLD trends in observations. We begin by assessing MLD trends in observations.
Interannual MLD variability in the NEPac is quite consistent across the various observational …

The spatio‐temporal characteristics of the interannual variability and long‐term trend of the
marine heatwaves (MHWs) and related dynamic mechanisms in the western equatorial …
