Observed Subsurface Marine Heatwaves Driven by Subsurface Eddies in the Western Tropical Pacific Ocean

Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme warm water events with high impact, but the drivers of subsurface MHWs, particularly the role of subsurface eddies in the occurrence of subsurface MHWs, are unclear yet. Previous studies suggest that surface warm water convergence due to wind forcing is t...
