What is it about?
A regional, high-resolution reanalysis was analyzed to explore extreme heat loss events in the Northern Red Sea (NRS) and their links to specific regional atmospheric circulation patterns. Three distinct types of regional atmospheric circulation that can cause excessive sea surface cooling are identified.

Why is it important?
Identification of specific atmospheric circulation linked to extreme heat loss in the northern Red Sea is of high importance for the whole basin since it is the major driving factor for dense water formation and feeds the two overturning circulation cells of the Red Sea.
