What if some of the Arctic’s most extreme marine heatwaves are happening where we’re barely looking?
A new review identifies major gaps in our understanding of subsurface Arctic marine heatwaves and their potential impacts on ecosystems, carbon cycling, and climate.

Arctic marine heatwaves are influenced by unique, overlooked drivers including sea ice (which modulates air-sea heat fluxes, mixed layer depth, and temperature variability) and upward fluxes of Arctic...
