#Mediterranean marine #heatwaves in 2022... Are we finally at the end of these concatenated heat episodes?
However, remember 2003... a brief comparison shows that 2003 was worse in more than one sense🧵 @ICMCSIC
The day-by-day comparison of the evolution for both years shows that MHW in 2003 covered a wider area with a higher mean intensity... At least in the western #Mediterranean
- 4ºC (June 2003) is a HUGE amount of heat stored at the sea.
- The MHW started about 15 days earlier.
