  This is a NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) experimental product. This file lists the current
  thermal stress levels, derived from the CRW global suite of satellite based coral
  bleaching monitoring products, for all the CRW Satellite Coral Bleaching Virtual Stations.
 
  "No Change" indicates that the stress level has not changed from the stress level at the
  previous twice-weekly update. "No Alert" does not necessarily mean no stress is present
  at the station. For a station with an alert, a '(+)' indicates an increase in the
  thermal stress level and a '(-)' indicates a decrease in the thermal stress level. Our
  thermal stress levels are defined as follow.
 
             Stress Level                  Definition
 
             No Stress                          HotSpot <= 0
             Bleaching Watch               0 <  HotSpot < 1
             Bleaching Warning             1 <= HotSpot and 0 < DHW < 4
             Bleaching Alert Level 1       1 <= HotSpot and 4 <= DHW < 8
             Bleaching Alert Level 2       1 <= HotSpot and 8 <= DHW
