Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: NOAA Coral Reef Watch program Publication_Date: 20121031 Title: NOAA Coral Reef Watch Experimental Daily Near-Real-Time Light Stress Damage Product for the Caribbean Region Edition: One Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Remote sensing image, web page Publication_Information: Publication_Place: College Park, Maryland, USA Publisher: NOAA Coral Reef Watch program Online_Linkage: http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/lsd/index.html Description: Abstract: The NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) Experimental Daily Near-Real-Time Light Stress Damage (LSD) product is part of CRW's near-real-time Decision Support System (DSS) for coral reef management that also includes CRW's operational twice-weekly global 50-km satellite coral bleaching thermal stress monitoring product suite. This DSS was initially implemented in 2000 and continues to provide updated monitoring information to the U.S. and international coral reef communities. The first version of the LSD product was launched on October 1, 2009 for the Caribbean region only. It was a pilot project based on preliminary research results on combined stress conducive to coral bleaching from both anomalously high light intensity (insolation) and temperature experienced by coral. Although web-based, the first version of the LSD product was password-protected and available only to project collaborators, for the period April 2009 to the present. The second, public version of the LSD product was released October 31, 2012 on the CRW web site. This metadata file provides information on the second version of the LSD product for both the most recent near-real-time updates and the archived product dating back to October 1, 2012. The experimental LSD product provides a measure of the combined light and thermal stress on the coral photo-system. As currently designed, the LSD product will provide a relative measure of these effects via an index. This index has values that are usually in the range of 0 to 5, but can be greater than 5 if accumulated thermal stress is excessive. Generally speaking, a value of 0 indicates that there is no accumulation of damaging stress, a value of around 1 indicates that stress has accumulated to significant levels and bleaching is expected to begin, and values of 2 or more indicate escalating severity of stress and associated bleaching. Severe bleaching and significant mortality are expected at or beyond an LSD value of 5. The LSD product is updated daily and presently has a resolution of 0.1 degrees. This will be increased to 0.05 degree resolution in the future. Temperature data used in deriving the LSD are the daily NOAA/NESDIS 0.1 degree resolution Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES)-Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) blended SST product. The LSD is also produced using photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) derived from the NESDIS/STAR GOES Surface and Insolation product suite. Hourly PAR data from this product suite are summed to derive a daily total PAR. The daily PAR totals are then used to derive an anomaly product that measures acclimation of the corals to changing light levels from day to day. At this time, the LSD product is produced only for the Caribbean region on CRW's web site. Additional information on the SST used for this product is provided in each SST HDF data file, accessible at http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/hdf/index.html. The LSD product, its detailed description, and available data formats and delivery mechanisms are accessible at http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/lsd/index.html. Purpose: The NOAA Coral Reef Watch program seeks to fully utilize satellite-based observations, combined with in-situ data, to continually monitor for early indications of thermally-induced coral reef bleaching worldwide. A suite of monitoring and prediction products, including the product described in these metadata, has been developed by CRW as a decision support system (DSS) to provide critical and timely coral reef environment information to the U.S. and international coral reef communities.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: PNG Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of the LSD product depends on the accuracy of NESDIS/STAR satellite SSTs and the NESDIS/STAR Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) Surface and Insolation Products (GSIP). Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) AVHRR-SST values used for creating CRW 50-km SST analysis fields were accurate to within 0.5 degree Celsius and adjusted by in-situ buoy observations to best-approximate SST at the depth of one meter. However, when producing a complete, gap-filled SST analysis with global coverage, estimation of SST at the pixels covered by cloud may occasionally reduce the accuracy of SST at these pixels. Information about GSIP can be found at http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/land/gsip/index.html. Logical_Consistency_Report: none Completeness_Report: There is no spatial data gap existing in this data set. As an experimental product, this product undergoes continual development and refinement to determine the algorithm's best configuration. Any change in the algorithm or product presentation may incur reprocessing of the entire data set. Should this occur, an announcement will be posted on the CRW web site, and the metadata will be revised to reflect changes that take place. New near-real-time LSD products will be continuously added into this data collection at scheduled routine data update times.
