Description
This dataset is derived from NOAA Coral Reef Watch CoralTemp sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration from the European Space Agency Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative dataset using algorithm from Barns et al., (2011). This is a monthly data with a spatial resolution of 0.05 degree. The spatial coverage is 20S to 55N, 120E to 100W, from 1998-01 to 2024-12.
