人类活动导致的大气温室气体浓度增加与最近的气候变化有关，预计未来将在全球范围内对气候产生重大影响。对于海洋和淡水系统，温室气体浓度的增加预计会提高表面温度，降低pH值，并导致垂直混合、上升流、降水和蒸发模式的变化。这些变化对有害藻华(赤潮)的潜在后果相对较少受到关注，也没有得到很好的了解。鉴于全球赤潮的明显增加以及气候变化和海洋酸化可能带来的更大问题，需要进行大量研究，以评估赤潮、气候变化、海洋酸化和人类健康之间的直接和间接联系。这项研究需要一个多学科的方法，利用气候学、海洋学、生物学、流行病学和其他学科的专业知识。我们回顾了选定的大尺度气候变化模式与气候变化、海洋状况和有害藻类之间的相互作用。
Anthropogenically-derived increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have been implicated in recent climate change, and are projected to substantially impact the climate on a global scale in the future. For marine and freshwater systems, increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are expected to increase surface temperatures, lower pH, and cause changes to vertical mixing, upwelling, precipitation, and evaporation patterns. The potential consequences of these changes for harmful algal blooms (HABs) have received relatively little attention and are not well understood. Given the apparent increase in HABs around the world and the potential for greater problems as a result of climate change and ocean acidification, substantial research is needed to evaluate the direct and indirect associations between HABs, climate change, ocean acidification, and human health. This research will require a multidisciplinary approach utilizing expertise in climatology, oceanography, biology, epidemiology, and other disciplines. We review the interactions between selected patterns of large-scale climate variability and climate change, oceanic conditions, and harmful algae.
