Abstract: <p>Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are periods of extreme warm ocean temperatures that can have devastating impacts on marine<br>organisms and socio-economic systems. Despite recent advances in understanding the underlying processes of individual events, a<br>global view of the local oceanic and atmospheric drivers of MHWs is currently missing. Here, we use daily-mean output of<br>temperature tendency terms from a comprehensive fully coupled Earth system model to quantify the main local processes ...
