1. Data were downloaded for the optimally interpolated SST from NOAA (OI SST, Reynolds et al. 2007 R. W. Reynolds et al., Daily high-resolution-blended analyses for sea surface temperature. J. Climate 20, 5473, from http://www.ncei.noaa.gov).
2. Monthly means were calculated to compile a monthly climatology over the period 1982-2011.
3. Monthly anomalies were computed by subtracting the climatology from the monthly mean.
4. \"Heatwaves” were then defined: a monthly temperature anomaly > 2 times the Standard Deviation (SD) (2*SD), where the SD is the standard deviation of data at that location (1982-2011) during that month that persisted for two months or more. (see Matlab function “findheatwaves_mnth.m”).
4. At each location, the longest stretch of consecutive heatwaves between 2012 and 2016 were defined (longestheatwave.m)."^^ . _:genid4 . _:genid4 _:genid2 . _:genid4 _:genid3 . "nca4-km3-figure-process" . _:genid1 . "OMR_F4.ai"^^ . "Mac OS 10.11"^^ . _:genid4 . . . .
