The list of our Coral Bleaching Virtual Stations has expended from its original 24 reef
sites to 57 reef sites in our near-real-time Google Earth Coral
Bleaching Monitoring product.
17 coral scientists from 8 nations, including NOAA Coral Reef Watch coordinator Mark Eakin, say
corals could begin to disappear in 50 to 75 years due to warming temperatures
and increasing ocean acidification caused by carbon dioxide emissions. The
findings of the GEF/World Bank group were published as the cover story in the peer-reviewed journal Science.
See the
NOAA press release for more details.
Our Virtual Station network is expanding! Thirty-six new stations, from Aruba to Zanzibar, are now
available on the
experimental products page. Time series charts and data, regional images,
and Satellite Bleaching Alert e-mails are available for these experimental stations.
The
time series data
of CRW operational twice-weekly near-real-time
SST, SST anomaly, Bleaching HotSpot, and Bleaching Degree Heating
Weeks for 24 selected reef sites (CRW's virtual stations) around
the globe are now available.
The OPeNDAP service that serves
our HDF data
for direct network link from
CoastWatch software
tool (CDAT)
has not been available due to a technical problem.
The time of availability remains to be determined.
The HDF data are continuously available via our FTP and HTTP servers.
Our operational twice-weekly near-real-time satellite coral
bleaching monitoring products are now updated during the mornings (U.S.
Eastern Time) of every Monday and Thursday. Click
