Composite Products Description

Presented here are the year-to-date (for the current year), monthly, and annual composites of NOAA Coral Reef Watch's (CRW) Version 3.1 (v3.1) daily global 5km (0.05 degree) satellite coral bleaching heat stress monitoring products. The v3.1 products were released August 1, 2018 and are based on CRW's v3.1 daily global 5km 'CoralTemp' SST dataset. Composite products include SST, SST Anomaly, Coral Bleaching HotSpot, Degree Heating Week (DHW), and Bleaching Alert Area. Maximum composites are available for all of these variables; minimum and mean composites are available only for SST and SST Anomaly products. This is because the Bleaching Alert Area, DHW, and HotSpot are positive-value-only products. Click here for more information on CRW's v3.1 daily global 5km product suite.
