Description
This data reflects information on marine heatwaves (MHWs) and marine cold spells (MCSs) that occurred along the South African coast from January 1982 to April 2022, with special focus on Marine Protected Areas. Thermal metrics for MHW and MCS events were obtained using the HeatwaveR package (Schlegel and Smit, 2018) and the associated Marine Heatwave Tracker (Schlegel, 2020).
THis data stems from Courtailac et al (in review) Indentifying South AFrican Marine Protected Areas at risk of marine heatwaves and cold-spells
