Les vagues de chaleur océaniques sont des épisodes inhabituels d'augmentation des températures de surface de la mer. Si, pendant plus de cinq jours, la température de surface en mer est plus élevée que la moyenne, on parle alors d'une canicule marine. Ces vagues de chaleur peuvent durer des semaines, des mois, voire des années et se produire en été comme en hiver, sur toute la colonne d'eau – de la surface aux profondeurs.  4, record 1, French, - vague%20de%20chaleur%20marine
