CAREHeat (deteCtion and threAts of maRinE Heat waves) is a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) which is focused on extreme Marine Heat Wave (MHW) events. It aims to improve existing MHW detection algorithms and contribute to a better understanding of their impacts on marine ecosystems.
The goal of this form is to get a comprehensive list of requirements to be considered in the development of MHW-related information, as gathered from a sample of users, covering the Fisheries Sector.
MHW definition: MHW consist of localised, persistent, and anomalously warm seawater temperature events usually detected at the sea surface level. Continuous monitoring of sea surface temperature, from remote sensing observations, in-situ measurements, and numerical modelling, is essential to detect such events and manage their impacts.
This survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
