| This data package includes 50-km monthly mean satellite-only nighttime SST climatologies for 12 months and the maximum of these monthly mean climatologies. The 12 monthly mean SST climatologies have been used for producing CRW's near-real-time SST Anomaly product. The maximum climatology is also known as the Maximum Monthly Mean SST (MMMSST) Climatology and has been used for producing CRW's near-real-time HotSpot product. For more information on these climatologies, please visit the methodology web page. | ||

* The sea surface temperatures (SSTs) used in CRW's bleaching thermal stress monitoring are
nighttime-only and are used to derive all other variables.
** An all-in-one data file contains four variables (SST, SST Anomaly,
Bleaching HotSpot, and Degree Heating Week) but does not include data from the
Bleaching Alert Area product.
*** Our OPeNDAP service is temporarily unavailable.
please go to the methodology web page.
A suite of datasets used by NOAA Coral Reef Watch for its near-real-time satellite coral bleaching thermal stress monitoring are now available for download and use. These are the data that have been used for making the images and graphs posted on our satellite monitoring website. 5-km data are available in the network Common Data Form (netCDF) and 50-km data are available in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) via FTP, HTTP, and OPeNDAP servers.
The first five tables above list the available data files and the protocols in which the data can be downloaded. Users can choose a desired server for download by clicking on the server name. Using the OPeNDAP protocol, metadata (i.e., information about the data file) contained in an HDF data file can be viewed before download. Click here for more information about our HDF data.
The last table provides some software tools (the CoastWatch Software Library and Utilities) that can be used for visualizing data, viewing data information and values, calculating certain statistics, creating graphic output, etc. Please see our Software Details page for more information. The software is easy to install and use and is customized for Coral Reef Watch HDF data files. This software is not required to visualize and manipulate the data; many commonly used computer languages and software packages can read and process HDF files.

We request proper credit and citation to NOAA Coral Reef Watch
and CoastWatch when using the data and software.
