A large marine heat wave has warmed some parts of the Pacific Ocean 5 C above normal, similar to the 2014 heatwave that resulted in huge blooms of harmful algae known as ‘the blob’
Scientists are monitoring a large marine heat wave that has warmed some parts of the Pacific Ocean 5 C above normal and is approaching the Canadian and U.S. west coasts.
“The last time we had a large heat wave like we’ve got right now, and had El Niño looming along the equator, that was in 2014, and that led to ‘,’” he said, referencing the prolonged marine heat wave that created huge blooms of harmful algae and shuttered fisheries up and down the coast. “The worst-case scenario would be that the El Niño weather patterns that develop on the equator affect the atmosphere in the North Pacific and it reinforces and maintains the heat wave, so that it does not recede from the coast as much as it has in recent years. I think that is less likely, but possible.”
