This code explores sea surface temperature, sea surface temperature anomaly, and the coral bleaching threshold for a given area. The code is currently set for Southern Florida in July 2023, but users can change the geometry, start/end date, and point of interest to view other areas.
The data sources are as follows:
Sea Surface Temperature:
- GCOM-C/SGLI L3 Sea Surface Temperature (V2)
- GCOM-C/SGLI L3 Sea Surface Temperature (V3)
The methodology sources are as follows:
- Anomaly calculation: NASA GSFC Anomalies Analysis of Soil Moisture and Precipitation Over a River Basin
- Coral Bleaching Threshold and Heat Stress: NOAA Coral Reef Watch Bleaching Threshold
