Abstract Marine heatwaves have profoundly impacted marine ecosystems over large areas of the world oceans, calling for improved understanding their dynamics and predictability. Here, we critically review recent substantial advances in this active area research, including exploration three-dimensional structure evolution these extremes, drivers, connection with other extremes ocean land, future projections, assessment predictability current prediction skill. To make progress on predicting projecting impacts, a more complete mechanistic full depth at relevant spatial temporal scales is needed, together models that can realistically capture leading mechanisms those scales. Sustained observing systems, as well measuring platforms be rapidly deployed, are essential to achieve comprehensive event characterizations while also chronicling evolving nature impacts our changing climate.
