This resource is a map of Tropical Cyclone numbers per decade and comes from from a simulation that uses the multi-model mean forcings from RCP8.5 projection to drive an ocean eddy-resolving model (OFAM3). Insights for Warming and Acidification Increased frequency and duration of marine heatwaves increase the likelihood of more frequent and severe coral bleaching events. Tasman Sea approaches a permanent marine heatwave state by GWL3. Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef will experience annual conditions for extreme bleaching by GWL3. Acidity at GWL3: Southern Ocean surface waters south of 60S will drop below an annual mean aragonite saturation state of 1. Values above 1.0 are required to produce calcareous shells or skeletons optimally. Values below 1 are considered corrosive, and skeletons and shells may be subject to dissolution. The ocean environment will become more stressful for marine organisms and ecosystems. The references for the simulations are: Feng, M., Zhang, X., Oke, P., Monselesan, D., Chamberlain, M.

This resource is a map of the Duration of Marine Heatwaves and comes from from a simulation that uses the multi-model mean forcings from RCP8.5 projection to drive an ocean eddy-resolving model (OFAM3). Insights for Warming and Acidification Increased frequency and duration of marine heatwaves increase the likelihood of more frequent and severe coral bleaching events. Tasman Sea approaches a permanent marine heatwave state by GWL3. Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef will experience annual conditions for extreme bleaching by GWL3. Acidity at GWL3: Southern Ocean surface waters south of 60S will drop below an annual mean aragonite saturation state of 1. Values above 1.0 are required to produce calcareous shells or skeletons optimally. Values below 1 are considered corrosive, and skeletons and shells may be subject to dissolution. The ocean environment will become more stressful for marine organisms and ecosystems. The references for the simulations are: Feng, M., Zhang, X., Oke, P., Monselesan, D., Chamberlain, M.
