  abstract = {{E}l {N}ino typically induces cooling in the {S}outhwest {P}acific {O}cean during austral summers, usually leading to decreased marine heatwave frequency and severity. {H}owever, the 2016 extreme {E}l {N}ino unexpectedly coincided with the longest and most extensive marine heatwave ever recorded in the region. {T}his heatwave, spanning over 1.7 million square kilometers, persisting for 24 days with a peak intensity of 1.5 degrees {C}, resulted in massive coral bleaching and fish mortality. {T}his exceptional warming resulted from anomalously strong shortwave radiation and reduced heat loss via latent heat fluxes, owing to low wind speed and increased air humidity. {T}hese anomalies are attributed to a rare combined event "{M}adden-{J}ulian {O}scillation and extreme {E}l {N}ino." {F}ollowing 10 {F}ebruary, the rapid dissipation of this marine heatwave results from the most intense cyclone ever recorded in the {S}outh {P}acific. {T}he hazardous ecological impacts of this extreme event highlight the needs for improving our understanding of marine heatwave-driving mechanisms that may result in better seasonal predictions.},
