Short summary
Marine heatwaves are periods of unusually warm ocean temperatures that can affect ecosystems and weather.

Our results show that marine heatwaves depend on both short-term weather and longer seasonal to decadal variability. The local atmospheric conditions play a key role in the German Bight.
