Local and Cross‐Basin Driving Mechanisms for Marine Heatwaves in the Kuroshio Extension Region
Marine heatwaves (MHWs)—prolonged periods of anomalously warm ocean temperatures—have intensified in recent decades, exerting profound impacts on marine ecosystems and fisheries. Using the OISST V2.0 data set from 1982 to 2023, this study examines the distribution characteristics of MHWs in the Kuroshio Extension Reg...
