Description:
Abstract:
These web-posted charts show sea surface temperature (SST) time series at a representative satellite pixel location for Scott Reef, AU. The time series is extracted from NOAA/NASA AVHRR Oceans Pathfinder daily 9km nighttime sea surface temperature dataset. The SST time series covers the time period from 1985 through mid-2003. Satellite data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite (POES) were used to generate AVHRR SST.
Purpose:
The AVHRR-SSTs and SST time series at selected locations, including Scott Reef, AU, were primarily developed for NOAA's Coral Reef Watch Program from satellite data for both monitoring and assessment of coral bleaching. Other monitoring and assessment products include the SST anomalies, coral bleaching HotSpots, Degree Heating Weeks, Tropical Coral Bleaching Indices.
