SUMMARY:AOS-CPEP Joint Colloquium: Impacts\, Tracking\, and Predicting Mari
 ne Heatwaves
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Luanne Thompson\, Professor of Oceanography\, Universi
 ty of Washington\n\nWhile the impact of the atmosphere on sea surface temp
 erature (SST) has been studied through observational and modeling studies\
 , examination of the characteristics of specific periods of warmer than no
 rmal SST were not identified as “Marine Heatwaves” (MHWs) until a 2010
 /2011 event that occurred West of Australia. Since then\, research on the 
 drivers\, evolution and impacts of Marine Heatwaves has exploded.\n\nIn th
 e first part of this talk\, Thompson will discuss the impacts of MHWs on m
 arine ecosystems in both observations and models. Thompson will then intro
 duce an approach for characterizing MHWs by their spatial temporal evoluti
 on using a software package called OceTrac. This tool allows examination o
 f MHWs as a collection of contiguous points at the surface ocean that evol
 ve in space and time that allows MHWs to split and merge. Thompson will di
 scuss application of OceTrac to evaluation of the prevalence spatiotempora
 l evolution and predictability of MHWs in observations and climate models.
 \n\nThis seminar can also be viewed via our live stream.\n\nHosted by the
  Climate\, People and the Environment Program (CPEP) and Department of At
 mospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) Colloquium Series.
