NOAA Coral Reef Watch Program NOAA National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service 20040505 One PNG images Camp Springs, Maryland, USA NOAA Coral Reef Watch Program http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/archive/sst_series_24reefspath.html http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/archive/sst_series_scott_path.html 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. 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. 198501 200306 publication date Complete none planned 121.75 122.25 -13.75 -14.25 CoRIS Theme Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Sea Surface Temperature CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Numeric Data Sets > Oceanography none NOAA CoRIS Coral Reef Watch POES Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite chart figure oceanography physical oceanography time series monitoring assessment remote sensing satellite image map AVHRR SST sea surface sea surface temperature temperature thermal stress stress ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans 014 CoRIS Place Thesaurus OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Scott and Seringaptam Reefs > Scott Reef (14S121E0001) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Australia > Western Australia > Scott Reef (14S121E0001) none globe Pacific Ocean Australia Scott Reef none real time near real time present current none Not intended for legal use.
