Evidence

Peer-reviewed

Geography

Seas around the Korean Peninsula

System

Marine heatwaves; coupled ocean–atmosphere modeling

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

A coupled weather–ocean modeling study compared factual and counterfactual thermodynamic conditions for four marine heatwave episodes. Simulated warming increased sea-surface temperature and, across modeled events, heatwave duration, area or intensity.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

For marine habitat planning, ecological extremes are driven both by event weather and a changing baseline; decision-support should preserve the distinction.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

A four-event model perturbation experiment, not measured biological damage or attribution of every historical heatwave. Early peer-reviewed manuscript may receive formatted publication updates.
