Description:Motivated by the uncommon yet highly impactful co-occurrence of California (CA) drought and a northeast Pacific (NEP) marine heatwave (MHW) during 2013–2016, we examined such compound extremes in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 projections, comparing the end of the 21st century with the preindustrial period, and separating effects of long-term trends from interannual variability. Here, we show that long-term trends due to anthropogenic climate change will dramatically increase the co-occurrence of extreme dry CA and warm NEP conditions. When trends are removed, the co-occurrence of CA drought and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) MHW will increase while the co-occurrence
