Southern Hemisphere marine heatwaves update - difference the last 5 days

How intense will be the marine heatwave signal in 2025/26 during summer?

Next study that we do not have a significant weakening of the AMOC till today

The whole climate system is now collapsing or shifting into a feedback driven state. That is the real story...

And AMOC collapse will have catastrophic effects, but till that happens it won't matter anymore much...

One of the main principles of global warming:

As a consequence the area affected increases non-linear at any given time...

The acceleration of global warming means also the intensification of lows and highs with the jets in-between causing the meridional component of the general circulation to intensify while zonal flows are increasingly disturbed causing poleward warming extremes and mid-latitude weather chaos

The six main principles through which the emergent tipping point of Earth operates:

1: The coupling between the systems is strengthening

2: Mutual amplification gains in efficiency driven by increasing "noise" in the system - intensification of variability

Gets ever darker our outlook

The albedo loss of the northern latitudes in 2023 could have been an outcome of smoke from wildfires reducing cloud cover (happens if the smoke is above the clouds) and the smoke could have reduced the albedo of the clouds

Smoke reduces SOx cloud brightening

If our recent observational and model based knowledge is taken into account shipping emissions could have even strengthened the positive low cloud feedback of marine heatwaves as they evaporate cloud droplets in the upper boundary layer

And SOx aerosols reduce cloud droplet size

The North Pacific MHW should also contribute to such a pattern, like most MHWs do as they tend to disturb overlying circulation one way or another
