Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A threadβ¦

For anyone interested in a deeper dive into our recent Nature paper on the 2023 North Atlantic marine heat wave nature.com/articles/s4158β¦ plus some discussion of recent findings related to the SMOC, @danmiller999 does an outstanding job as host with cameos from @LeonSimons8 πππ
I had an amazing discussion with climate scientist @ProfMattEngland today about extreme N. Atlantic warming in 2023, AMOC collapse, & S. Ocean overturning circulation slowdown (which is slowing down faster than the AMOC!). #Oceans #AMOC youtube.com/live/39T7bW7KA⦠@LeonSimons8
Insightful Climate Chat with @ProfMattEngland about these extreme ('off the chart') Sea Surface Temperatures over the North Atlantic. We also discussed major ocean currents, AMOC, sea ice, aerosols and more. Link below.

Thursday at 3pm PT (special day/time) on Climate Chat: Cause of Extreme North Atlantic Warming in 2023 with @UNSW @ProfMattEngland. On YouTube & LinkedIn (links in thread). We'll also discuss AMOC & S. Ocean. #ClimateCrisis #AMOC @LeonSimons8 @drivingmzstacey @radsci
Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europeβs hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it theconversation.com/unprecedented-β¦ via @ConversationEDU

Our study just out in Nature: the extreme North Atlantic heat in summer 2023 was mainly due to weak winds causing shallow mixed layers. Global warming is causing a trend toward shallow mixed layers, making such extremes more likely. π nature.com/articles/s4158β¦
