Satellites & Bleaching Virtual Stations

Along with the worldwide data, we also focus in on some representative coral reef locations around the world. We call these “Virtual Stations”: it is like having a temperature sensor in the water next to a reef, but it is completely based on satellite remote sensing measurements. On the CRW website, we show time-series graphs and data for each of the virtual stations. To be more quickly informed you can also sign up for free automated e-mail alerts, which will warn you if corals in those areas are at risk for bleaching. All of these products are updated twice a week as well.
