IMPORTANT USER ALERT (2 July 2024): This past weekend, a storage server at
NOAA's Center for Satellite Applications and Research, which delivers the
NOAA Coral Reef Watch data, suffered a hardware failure. The issue is being
addressed, and we hope to have the NOAA Coral Reef Watch data back up and
running as soon as possible. (1) The most recent data will be made available
first; historical data may take time to be restored. (2) If you need specific
data that are not yet available, please contact us at
coralreefwatch@noaa.gov.
(3) If you use code to pull data, please revise your code to use “…/socd/…”
in lieu of “…/sod/…” in all relevant web addresses for all future needs.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Melanesia 5 km Regional Virtual Station Time Series Graphs (Version 3.1, released July 31, 2019, experimental product)
NOTE: Alerts displayed on individual Regional Virtual Station (RVS) and Single-Pixel Virtual Station pages still
use the heritage bleaching alert level system (which extended to Bleaching Alert Level 2). We are currently updating
these systems to reflect the
modified bleaching alert levels (now extending to Bleaching Alert Level 5). Until this update is complete, when
a Station displays Alert Level 2, we suggest that users consult the Time Series data file that is linked directly
below or to the right of the two-year time-series graph. This data file displays the underlying Coral Bleaching
HotSpot and Degree Heating Week (DHW) values, from which a user can determine, on any day, what the new,
corresponding Bleaching Alert Level should be, if higher than Alert Level 2.
