Summary

Story summary

The study uses OSTIA and GloSea models to analyze SST data from 1982–2024.
GloSea hindcasts provide a large SST ensemble for marine heatwave stats.
The analysis focuses on regions affected by the June 2023 MHW, including the Irish Shelf and Celtic Sea.
Validation shows outputs match observed data; detrending adjusts historical SST; study endorses 1993–2016 as a climate analogue.
