Introduction

Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) have very important impacts on marine environment, ecosystem and economic life. Global warming has exacerbated MHWs in recent years. The research on MHWs has developed rapidly and gradually become an important research frontier. This paper reviews the scientific background and research progress on MHWs both at home and abroad. Various kinds of MHWs' definitions, spatiotemporal features, formation mechanisms, impacts on marine ecosystem, and possible changes in the context of future global warming are summarized. The remaining important scientific issues in the field of MHWs research are discussed and with this base, the possible development trend in future is prospected.
